San Diego Latino Film Festival '08!
March 6 - 16, 2008
All day; eleven days!

What began as a student film festival, Cine Estudiantil, has grown to become the internationally celebrated SAN DIEGO LATINO FILM FESTIVASL, now in its 15th anniversary edition, March from 6-16, 2008 at UltraStar Mission Valley Cinemas at Hazard Center.

Starting the celebration with a real example of coming of age, the SDLFF brings back a former student filmmaker, Director Rodrigo Plá with his film La Zona (Mexico/Spain). Now an esteemed award winner at both the Venice and Toronto International Film Festivals, he first came to San Diego with his student film in 1996. The festival also brings back Diego Luna visiting before as an actor; and now making his directorial debut with J.C. Chavez. Diego Luna gets behind the camera with this documentary about Mexican boxing legend, Julio César Chavez. La misma Luna (Mexico) by Patricia Riggen reunites must see talents; Kate del Castillo, America Ferrera and Eugenio Derbez. The film was screened this past year at Sundance and Toronto Film Festivals.

El Lugar Sin Límites/Hell Has No Limits is Arturo Ripstein's 1978 classic groundbreaking Mexican film based on the international best selling novel by Chilean José Donoso. For this film, he won the Golden Ariel Award from Mexico. Mr. Ripstein will attend this year’s festival together with his most recent film El Carnaval de Sodoma.
