Latino Intenational Film Institute (LIFI) is a non-profit 501c (3) organization that presents the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival.

LIFI's mission is to mentor, develop and support Latino filmmakers with independent and diverse visions in the United States and internationally; to provide an outlet and distribution opportunities for the content created and acquired to the non-theatrical and commercial world. To support the development and further education of school children from elementary to junior college in the United States via the audio visual arts. In turn continue to elevate standards of Latino audio visual story development and presentation of our culture; and to preserve our cultural cinematic history in the most impactful medium of the world today, the audio visual.
