Mission
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to cultural access, education, and the promotion of Ibero-American storytelling in the United States.
Vision
A stronger cultural landscape in which Ibero-American stories are accessible, valued, and connected to public learning and community life.
Purpose

Mission & Programs
The festival is one program inside a broader mission.
IBAFAF brings together screenings, public conversations, education initiatives, access efforts, and community-centered cultural programming.

Together, this work expands access to Ibero-American storytelling and creates more opportunities for public learning, participation, and cultural exchange.

These principles guide IBAFAF’s public programs and community partnerships.

Education
Learning is part of the nonprofit’s core purpose, from filmmaker development to broader public cultural understanding.
Inclusion
Programs widen participation and reduce barriers to cultural experience whenever possible.
