“Twenty years ago it was absolutely, totally unheard that there was anyone making a film in Chicago - a Latino film,” says Pepe Vargas, founder and executive director of the International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago (ILCC). Still, that didn’t stop 57-year-old Vargas from founding the city’s Latino Film Festival. Twenty four years later, the annual 15-day event showcases independent local and international Latino filmmakers before packed crowds.
“The basis for our work is how we can create awareness and educate people about who we are,” Vargas says of the ILCC. “And what a better tool than cinema? It transports all of our histories.”"*
