El Elcuentro Film Festival

UNITAS, in partnership with Middlesex Community College Department of Communication, Art, & Design, is proud to host the 5th Annual El Encuentro Latino Film Festival, a vibrant celebration of Latino storytelling through film and music.

This dynamic festival highlights both emerging and established Latino filmmakers and artists from across the country.
