Chicago, IL (February 7th, 2025) • Love is in the air at the 41st Chicago Latino Film Festival, and this year they’re celebrating with an unprecedented offer that combines cinema, culture, and elegance. For the first time in the festival’s history, film enthusiasts can purchase a special Valentine’s Day bundle that includes access to both the Opening and Closing Night Galas – two of the festival’s most anticipated and typically sold-out events.
From February 7th through Valentine’s Day, couples and cinema lovers can secure their spots at both prestigious events for just $200 – a significant savings from the regular ticket prices of $75 per person. This exclusive package includes two tickets to each gala, effectively reducing the per-ticket cost to $50 and offering a total savings of $100.
The Opening Night Gala, scheduled for Thursday, April 3rd, will feature the North American premiere of “Dear Gentlemen” (Estimados Señores) by Patricia Castañeda. This compelling drama delves into the suffragist movement of 1950s Colombia, promising to kick off the festival with both historical significance and artistic excellence. The evening begins at 6:00 PM at the DANK Haus German American Cultural Center, setting the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable festival.
The Closing Night Gala on Monday, April 14th, will showcase “Reinas,” a touching narrative directed by Peruvian-Swiss filmmaker Klaudia Reynicke. The film explores the emotional journey of a father seeking to rebuild relationships with his estranged daughters, offering a poignant conclusion to this year’s festival celebrations.
Both gala events, hosted at the DANK Haus German American Cultural Center (4740 N. Western Ave), offer more than just film screenings. Attendees will enjoy vibrant after-parties featuring complimentary food and drinks, live music, and an atmosphere that celebrates Latino culture in all its richness. Guests are encouraged to dress in cocktail attire, adding to the events’ sophisticated ambiance.
This Valentine’s Day special represents a perfect opportunity for film enthusiasts to experience the festival’s most prestigious events while enjoying significant savings. Whether purchased as a romantic gift or simply to ensure prime access to these celebrated evenings, this limited-time offer provides an exceptional value for what promises to be two extraordinary nights of cinema, culture, and celebration.
For regular festival attendees, individual gala tickets will be available at $75 for general admission and $65 for ILCC members, but this special Valentine’s bundle offers the best value for those planning to attend both events.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to be part of these spectacular evenings celebrating Latino cinema in Chicago. The Valentine’s Day special bundle is available only from February 7th through February 14th, 2025.
