The first ever Colombian Film Festival is coming to New York City, celebrating all that is great about Colombian moviemaking.  The festival, that will take place at the Tribeca Cinemas, will be held from March 20th until March 24, 2013.

The festival will screen 16 feature films and 8 shorts out of 45 entrees.  Click here for a complete list of the films.

According to Chicana from Chicago “Colombia produces less than 25 features a year and that represents a substantial increase over the past 10 years, and 18 home grown features were released in Colombian theaters.” 

This event is being held with the support of the Embassy of Colombia in Washington, D.C. and the Consulate of Colombia in NYC.
