MXLAN 2026… the vibes were truly different. ✨🌺
For three unforgettable days, our community came together to celebrate culture, music, food, and art. From Lucha libre to El Gran Baile, every corner of the festival was filled with smiles, laughter, and moments we will never forget.
We experienced a mercado, amazing food and artisan vendors, the carnival, the Tunnel of Gratitude, and so much live music and performances that kept the energy alive all weekend long.
Most of all, we are grateful. Thank you to everyone who came out, supported, danced, laughed, and made MXLAN such a beautiful celebration of our community. ❤️
We can’t wait to do it all again with you.

CineSol Film Festival mourns the loss of our founder, Evy Ledesma Galan. A visionary whose heart, passion, and belief in storytelling brought this festival to life.
Evy Ledesma Galan founded the CineSol Latino Film Festival in 1993. She worked out of her family home, making phone calls and inviting people she only knew by reputation. And they came! Evy, along with the board, would rack up long distance phone bills and film projector rental fees. She was able to get films, projectors, directors, and movie stars! All from her home in Harlingen. And pre-internet!
As our mission statement says: "we celebrate achievement in the art of filmmaking. CineSol is dedicated to furthering the art, craft and business of screenwriters and filmmakers and recognizing their artistic contributions." Evy believed in that dream. She felt the Rio Grande Valley needed an outlet or showcase for independent Latino films.
It was Evy who provided the Texas Border Region with its first film festival ever, including cultural art events in Matamoros and Reynosa. CineSol has traveled throughout the border region, by having the film festival in South Padre Island, Harlingen, Edinburg, McAllen, Mission, and Brownsville. She was festival director from 1993-2003.
It was through CineSol Latino Film Festival that she met filmmaker Hector Galan, who eventually became the love of her life.
CineSol was never just about films; it was about people, culture, and the shared experience of seeing ourselves reflected on screen. Through tireless dedication and deep love for the art of cinema, Evy created a space where Latino voices were uplifted, Latino stories were honored, and a film community was formed. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her spirit lives on in every frame projected, every filmmaker encouraged, and every audience member moved.
Evy Ledesma Galan, a true champion of latino culture, film, and artists. Thank you for the vision, the heart, and the stories. Your legacy lives on through the film festival and community you created.
We are deeply grateful for all she gave and will carry her legacy forward. Rest in peace. 🎬
