DULCE Film Premieres

Diverse Unique Latino Cinema Encuentros (DULCE) is a program that expands on the Philadelphia Latino Film Festival’s commitment to offer opportunities for emerging filmmakers. 

Through DULCE, filmmakers develop new and innovative work and engage local audiences in high quality cultural experiences.

DULCE intends to widen access to filmmaking by working with residents in two residential communities in Philadelphia, Norris Square (Northeast Philadelphia) and South Philadelphia, to develop workshops, group projects, short films and activations at key summer events. 

Resident filmmakers provide a platform to support local, regional and visiting emerging independent filmmakers with the aim of enhancing the viability of their careers and to bring more visibility to independent filmmaking in Philadelphia.

Lead support provided by the William Penn Foundation.

Films Include: After 2020 (South Philadelphia cohort) and XOBABY (Norris Square cohort)
