This festival, designed to cast a spotlight on the emerging film industry in Panama and Central America, will feature works by up and coming filmmakers from the area and, through its partnership with NewFilmmakersLA, a well-established and respected presenting entity in Los Angeles, seek to build professional and artistic exchanges between Latin America and the Hollywood film world.
