“Working with Spanish Film Club made the task of organizing a film festival much easier and efficient and provided us the opportunity to show students films that are not otherwise available for distribution.” —Ana M. López, Associate Provost, Tulane University

“More than ever, it has become necessary to develop spaces of inclusivity, diversity and cultural exchange within our communities. I believe Pragda’s SFC accomplishes this in a profound and beautiful way.” —Daniel Quiros, Lafayette College

“The SFC served as a vibrant “living laboratory” where students transformed from passive viewers into active global citizens by engaging with authentic language and world-class cinema as a core, credit-bearing component of their academic journey.” —Sergio Diaz-Luna, Assistant Professor at Norwich University

“Films offer powerful windows into the diverse realities of Latin America. I introduced each screening with contextual remarks and used the discussion guides to facilitate conversation. The experience was so rewarding that I would definitely organize another Spanish Film Club.” —Angelina Cotler, Director at Johns Hopkins University

“Our Pragda film fest meant the world to our Latinx students. Seeing these stories and these characters on the big screen brought forth a range of strong emotions and facilitated some excellent discussion.” —Brigitte Bell, Director of Library Services, University of St. Francis

“The films gave me a great cultural experience. The rooms were packed every night and after each film, students walked away talking about and analyzing what they saw.” —Anonymous Student, Virginia Tech

“We’ve organized a Latin American Film Festival for six years, and it has become a highlight of our university’s cultural programming. Streaming these films allows our primarily commuter campus to experience stories they otherwise couldn’t access. For our small campus, showing students the world beyond our town is invaluable. I always enjoy working with the support staff. Even when technical issues arise, Eric and the team are quick and helpful in resolving them.” —Steven Lownes, Associate Professor at University of South Carolina Union
