14th Corto Circuito 2017 Latino Shorts Film Festival New York

Corto Circuito is New York City’s Latino shorts film festival. It is produced by Artistic Director Diana Vargas (Colombian) and Laura Turegano (Spanish), Associate Director of NYU’s King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center.

“Our principal objective in recent years has been to present films that, besides keeping the spectator on edge with their approaches to aesthetics and narrative, can provide a space for an open dialogue that considers the anxieties, obsessions, and common spaces that make up the Latino universe,” says Diana Vargas, Director and Co-founder of the festival.

An open dialogue that considers the anxieties, obsessions, and common spaces that make up the Latino universe

~ Diana Vargas, Corto Circuito Director

Ms. Vargas once told us, “In Colombia, I am just Diana Vargas. In the States, I am labeled a ‘Latina.’ Why can’t I just be me?”

Foreign-language films are subtitled in English.
