Hispanic Culture Film Festival

MISSION

The mission of the Hispanic Culture Film Festival (HCFF) is to celebrate the cultures of the 21 Hispanic nations (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Spain, Uruguay, Venezuela) and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico through film, food and wine, art, folklore, dance, music, and discussions, in the city of Saint Augustine, where Hispanic heritage in the US was born.

VISION

The Hispanic Community in the US is a rich blend of cultures derived from 21 Spanish speaking countries of the world and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Although they all share the same roots: Spain, each is uniquely distinct. The Hispanic Culture Film Festival (HCFF) will educate participants about the origins of and differences among the Hispanic community through film, food, wine, art, folklore, dance, music, and discussions, creating a unique “experience” in the first and oldest city in the United States, which was founded by a Spanish visionary, making it an attractive, event that Saint Augustinians, Floridians, Americans, and international visitors will anticipate each year.
