Led by invited industry professionals, this dialogue is an opportunity to discuss the image of "Latinos" in the U.S. and how it affects the distribution and exhibition of films coming from Latin America and Spain. Panelist questions include: Where is the intersection between creativity and commerce? What type of "Latino" projects tend to interest a sales agent or distributor? Has there been a mainstreaming of "Latino" cinema? If so, what have been the benefits and/or expenses at an artistic and symbolic level?
