Las Vegas Latino Film Festival once exclusively for short films adds feature-length works for the first time

The 2006 Peruvian film “MADEINUSA” is one of three feature films presented at this year’s Las Vegas Latino Film Festival. For the first time in its nine-year history, the festival is showing feature-length films. Previously only short films were shown. The 2012 festival is 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday Dec. 1 at the College of Southern Nevada Cheyenne Campus.
In 2003 a total of 18 people attended the first Las Vegas Latin Short Film Festival, which launched with a trio of short films at the Charleston Heights Arts Center.
“It started because I was a teacher, and I found that people’s attention spans were diminishing,” said festival founder and the director of the Nevada Hispanic Museum Lynette Sawyer, who taught at St. Christopher Catholic School. “I said instead of showing long films, let’s show some short films.”
