2nd Annual Boricua Film Festival

Two Theaters. 20+ Films. One Day Experience.

The 2nd Annual Boricua Film Festival returns on Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 1:00 PM at the Williams Center in Rutherford, NJ. Come spend the day with Puerto Rican films, live performance, poetry, music, conversation, and community in one in-person festival experience.

Presented by the Boricua Community Building Center in collaboration with ADoCPR’s Cinema on the Road, this year’s festival brings 15 short and medium-length films across two theaters.

This year we are proud to feature Cortaditos, an award winning six-film Puerto Rican short film block presented through our new collaboration with the Puerto Rico European Film Festival and Alliance Française de Puerto Rico.

Audiences will experience films including Golpe de Agua, Mulata, Chimenea de muerte, De tribus y máscaras, El Arresto, El Pueblo de Coral, and A Tale of Two Cities: Reclaiming Niagara Falls and Salinas.

The Cortaditos six film selection includes award winning short films Ketchup, PUM!, Lo Que Quedó, Engreída, Recao, and Moriviví.

The day includes a film panel Q&A and audience discussion with filmmakers, authors, educators, activists, and community leaders whose work connects directly to the stories on screen. Featured guest speakers include Inés Mongil, Samantha J. Garcia-Sherpa, Andre Lee Muñiz, Gualterio Alomar, and Daliana Alvarado.

Live performances includes a free Bomba y Plena workshop and live performance by Cimarrones de Nueva Jersey, Folkloric Salsa by Spirit in Motion 3.0, poetry by Nelly Nel and Johnathan Garcia, and additional community artists. The films open the door, and the performances and conversations carry the experience beyond the screen.

The festival also welcomes nonprofit partners El Comedor del Kennedy and MiPatriaPR, who will join us in sharing community resources, cultural work, and ways to stay connected to Puerto Rico and the diaspora.

Community passes includes access to screenings, panels, Q&As, performances, and full-day festival access.
