About the OC Film Fiesta
The celebrated OC Film Fiesta returns for its 14th year Oct. 12-29, 2023. The OC Film Fiesta is the premier cinematic celebration of the nation’s diversity and multicultural heritage.
Each year, the Film Fiesta presents an award-winning selection of feature films, documentaries, short films and activities that connect Orange County residents with their dynamic international film heritages. The festival also features parties, workshops and networking opportunities.
The OC Film Fiesta includes films by and about the diverse US Latino and immigrant communities. The 2023 Film Fiesta will feature films from Orange County, the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
“The OC Film Fiesta has presented films at locations throughout the county, and we are excited to be inaugurating our new media arts space, TVGB’s, as a festival venue this year,” says Media Arts Santa Ana Executive Director Victor Payan. “This year’s festival will kick off amazing year-round programming at our new home.”
This 13th OC Film Fiesta will feature in-person and virtual screenings, workshops and Q&As. The in-person screenings will take place at Media Arts Santa Ana’s new arts space, TVGB’s, which is located at 1666 N Main in Santa Ana, as well as other venues in Orange County.
