The Grand Rapids Latin American Film Festival (GRLAFF), which has been bringing films that represent diverse perspectives, origins, and themes to the Wealthy Theatre since 2010, will be returning for its eighth season this spring. Over the three-day period, the festival will feature nine recent films from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, and Venezuela. A number of films will also be followed by question-and-answer sessions with directors and panel discussions with special guests. Area families are invited to mark their calendars for Saturday, April 7, when for the first time the festival will offer a “GRLAFF for Kids” event in the Wealthy Theatre’s micro-cinema, with live puppet shows and a screening of Anina, an animated film from Uruguay. The entire festival is free to the public and all films will be presented with English subtitles. Check the website for the complete festival schedule and film descriptions.
