We’re excited to announce the launch of the 2026 Diaspora Film Festival! Following the success of last spring’s inaugural festival (April 2025), which highlighted the East Asian diaspora, the Diaspora Film Festival returns with a new theme: Latin American Diaspora.

We invite young filmmakers to submit their work for consideration. Selected films will be screened at a live event hosted at International House at the University of Chicago on May 15, 2026, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A with the filmmakers. The festival celebrates the creativity and voices of student artists exploring themes of identity, migration, and cultural heritage.
