The San Diego Latino Film Festival starts on Thursday and runs through March 24. With four screens across town and dozens of screenings and events, planning either a connoisseur\u2019s full calendar or just picking a few films to sample can feel overwhelming.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s some film highlights<\/em>:<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a shorts pass, which allows you to see five different shorts programs for $35. Here\u2019s a good listing of all the shorts program offerings. Don\u2019t miss: docu-shorts, Hecho en USA, \u00a1Somos! Cine LGBTQ+ and the San Diego\/Tijuana region\u2019s shorts, \u00a1Frontera Filmmakers!<\/p>\n

\u201cAnytime we\u2019d pan or tilt, I was afraid. Why pan? Keep it still. There\u2019s no reason to move the camera,\u201d director Li Cheng recently told Salon. \u201cJos\u00e9,\u201d an acclaimed LGBTQ drama that won the Queer Lion award at Venice Film Festival<\/strong>, screens on March 19 and March 25.<\/p>\n

Next Tuesday\u2019s Migrant Voice Showcase features 15 community-submitted short films that embody migrant or border issues.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the Youth Visions Showcase on March 23 features a bunch of youth-produced projects, including several from local organizations and schools (like High Tech High Chula Vista, Del Lago Academy in Escondido, San Diego\u2019s Teen Producers Project and more).<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be taking my soccer-obsessed daughter to see \u201cNos Llaman Guerreras,\u201d (translation: \u201cthey call us warriors\u201d) about an undefeated Venezuelan girls\u2019 soccer team. Here\u2019s the trailer. (\u201cNobody knows what we go through, what we cry about.\u201d) It screens March 19 at 5 p.m., and March 23 at noon.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t miss the festival extras<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Attention foodies: Saturday\u2019s Sabor Latino Food Wine and Beer Festival features beer, tequila, wine and food tastings from all over the San Diego\/Baja region.<\/p>\n

Attention music lovers and\/or Fashion Valley shoppers: Sonido Latino offers free outdoor music showcases nearly every day of the film festival. Check out the schedule here (or just go get your mall pretzel on your own time, and hope for the best).<\/p>\n
