The Hispanic Film Society of Victoria was established in 2013 with the aim of promoting Latin American and Spanish Cinema in Victoria through the organization of an annual Film Week at Cinecenta. The Society continues the work of the organizing committee which has been in charge of setting up the Latin American and Spanish Film Week since 2010. By becoming a Society, the members aim to engage more closely the diverse communities interested in cinema and the cultures of the Hispanic world. We invite the public to attend the annual Film Week as well as getting in touch with us to learn more about our activities and the possibilities for volunteering.

The 12th Latin American and Spanish Film Week was organized by the Hispanic Film Society of Victoria and sponsored by the Department of Hispanic and Italian Studies, the Faculties of Humanities, Social Sciences and Fine Arts, and the Latin American Studies Program at the University of Victoria. It also received support from the CRD Arts Development Service, BC Arts Council, and a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Postales Musicales de Latinoamérica and CFUV 101.9 FM were the media sponsors.
