Sun, salsa and award-winning cinema: the 2026 HSBC Spanish & Latin American Film Festival is back.
Now in its 29th year, the HSBC Spanish & Latin American Film Festival is rolling into Australia with a first look lineup worth losing sleep over. Kicking off 10 June, the festival spans everything from sweeping historical epics to frothy romantic comedies, with a few crowd-pleasing family films thrown in for good measure.
Presented by Palace, this year’s program includes powerful dramas, true-life stories, comedy and family fare; something for pretty much everyone.
