Todos Santos Film Festival 21 | Latin American Stories by the Sea
Now in its 21st edition, the Todos Santos Film Festival brings Latin American and Mexican cinema to one of Baja California Sur’s most charming coastal towns. The event presents a carefully curated selection of feature films, documentaries, and shorts that foreground women filmmakers, emerging voices, and locally rooted stories.
Beyond the screenings, the festival doubles as a creative lab, with talks, workshops, and community activities designed to nurture young audiences and spotlight new talent. Filmmakers, students, and cinephiles converge in this Pacific-side pueblo mágico to explore fresh narratives, debate urgent themes, and celebrate regional cinema in an intimate, walkable setting.

Venue
The General Manuel Márquez de León Theater and Cinema is a historic cultural venue located on the west side of the main plaza in downtown Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, near the Church of Our Lady of Pilar. Opened in 1944 as one of the region’s first theaters, it was built to provide local youth with a dedicated space for cinema, theater, and the arts. Today, this restored adobe building with its classic façade and balcony seating hosts film screenings, the Todos Santos Film Festival, concerts, dance performances, and community events, serving as a beloved gathering place that reflects the artistic spirit of this Pueblo Mágico.
