The heat will be turned up as the 2026 HSBC Spanish & Latin American Film Festival arrives back for its 29th year in Australia this winter with a carefully selected line up of over thirty films from Spain, Colombia, Argentina and more, showing at Palace Cinemas around Australia this June - July. 

This year’s diverse program takes audiences on a season of cinematic escapes - from culinary adventures in Peru and São Paulo to gripping thrillers, passionate Spanish romances, documentaries tracing salsa’s New York origins, and even an uplifting true story about the pioneering girls who changed the course of women’s football in Spain.
