A Poet

It is up to each embassy what they decide what to bring.

And I could tell you that maybe we are moved by the same motive to bring the films.

So it's what we want to show.

our culture, Latin American culture, but also, as you can imagine, also to show that we have a thriving film industry.

The selection, it's safe to say, is a bunch of heavy hitters, award-winning films from all across the continent and Spain.

So it gives people the opportunity to not only to enjoy the films and to see what's happening in terms of filmmaking in Latin America, but also to connect with other people, to connect with other Latin Americans who live in that place.

And also to connect with New Zealanders who are interested in Latin America, be it because of the language or the culture, I mean, the arts, maybe because of family connections, which are so important.

So it is the spirit of the festival.
