Returning from his two year 'sabbatical, Pepe Vargas, Director of the International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago welcomed the many sponsors and film supporters at the start of the film. "[We] use our best knowledge and intuition to see what would the audience appreciate the most," Vargas said. I can surely attest to the growth of this yearly event as witness and viewer to the yearly increase of Latin films added to the festival. I am truly glad to have been able to attend the opening night - thanks B.!

Overall, I would say the event was a success. With some assistance of organization the event showcased a film from Director Mario Camus with beautiful mountain scape backdrop of Spain. I genuine film with many messages of warmth and hope, followed by a reception serving Spanish food and wine as well as Spanish flamenco dance.
