I would like to go it sounds fun . Thanks you
you folks rock..pdx pipeline..would love to see these films…
I would love to go because I am Latina and a foreign film consumer. Yes, I watch them like I eat food, with unbridled voracity! :) Yo yo you por favor!! :)
Por favor?
porque no!
I’d like to catch on what’s happening now in Latin American attitudes and experience from Latin Americans.
I love Latin American films. Gives me a chance to practice my Spanish.
I have never been to the Latin film fest here! I have heard so many amazing thigs about the opening night and obviously Nortec’s music is such an ecclectic mix of music that it would be really sad to miss their show, help a girl out!
horale!
This even looks killer-awesome. Love it. Please pick me!
Me gusta!
This would be amazing! Pick me!
I’m very excited that the Hollywood Theater shows and celebrates different cultures in Portland.
I can’t think of a better way to bring in the rainy season! Popcorn + Instant Transport to Latin America = A Happy Ashley. I sure hope I get the chance to go! :)
Epic anime love stories? Fisherman drug dealers? Justice seeking pop culture icons? I must have it!
Sounds great! And I’m too cheap to buy tickets so trying to win….
I’m so sad I didn’t know about this festival earlier! Having lived in Ecuador for a year, anything related to latin culture is nostalgic. I’d love to attend this!
I LOVE foreign films, there’s just a style about them that are more appealing than the general blockbuster hits that make the big screen. I love Latin American films! Please pick me, I really want to see these!
i’d <3 to attend. escogéme por favor.
I didn’t know this festival existed until now! I love Latin American culture, and was lucky to get to spend a summer living in Chile. All of these films look wonderful, and I would be so grateful for a pair of tickets (or even just one ticket). Por favor!! Pick me!!!
i would love to attend this event, have a relaxing night to indulge in something that im sure ill be raving about for days!
Take me south. I’m tired of the rain already .
Mi novia y yo hablan espanyol como segunda o cuarto lenguaje, y por eso creo que seria una buena oportunidad para aprender mas y platicar con otras personas de mente similar. Tambien nos gustamos el cine.
