Greetings from the Director

Welcome to the 27th edition of the biggest and best Latino Film Festival in the United States. The film programming represents the diversity of themes and genres of Latino filmmaking from Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, Portugal and the United States. The Chicago Latino Film Festival continues to play an active cultural role in Chicago, a world-class city, with one of the most diverse Latino communities in the United States. We encourage people from all backgrounds to become immersed in our culture by viewing films that will open their eyes to the beauty of these counties and their people. We are extremely proud of our work and thankful for our growing audience, that has followed the Festival for more than a quarter of a century. We are committed every year to secure the best films, so we can keep engaging new audiences. Despite the many challenges presented by the current economic crisis, we are dedicated to producing the best Festival ever. The Festival serves as a vehicle to break barriers and stereotypes perpetuated by mainstream perceptions of Latinos who come from more than 20 different nationalities, races and socio-economic groups. Were grateful for the support from our proud sponsors, foundations, and government institutions. I am fortunate to work with a committed staff, Board of Directors and more than 100 volunteers. Together, we have done our best to make the 27th Anniversary of the Chicago Latino Film Festival a spectacular success. I am very grateful and appreciate everyones unwavering support! Thank you and enjoy our films!

Visa To Paradise
Mexico, 2010, 108 min. Director: Lillian Lieberman
A passport often means the possibility to travel to a new destination. Here, it is quite literally the ticket to life, and those that have power to issue them hold lives in their hands. Gilberto Bosques, Mexicos General Consul in France between 1939 and 1942, saved thousands of lives by issuing passports to Jewish and Spanish Republicans who were being displaced from occupied Spain and Germany. Bosques himself often filmed all the areas he visited, contributing rare footage of those exiled. Perhaps his name is not commonly known in history, but without a doubt Gilberto Bosques nearly single-handedly saved numerous lives with the stroke of a pen.

A menudo, el propio Bosques filmaba los lugares que visitaba, contribuyendo un material poco antes visto de las personas exiliadas. Quiz su nombre no es muy comn en la historia de Mxico, pero sin duda alguna Gilberto Bosques salv miles de personas con solo firmar su nombre.
