The city of Bellevue will partner with the Seattle Latino Film Festival to bring the event to Bellevue and the Eastside – through Bellevue Television and a first-ever screening in Bellevue.

On Monday, Oct. 7, Bellevue Television (BTV Comcast channel 21) will present “74 Square Meters,” a film that profiles marginalized families from Chile who are chosen to participate in a social experiment that places them into a middle-class neighborhood where two worlds collide.

On Friday, Oct. 11, the Bellevue Youth Theatre will host showings of two additional films:

· End of the World (Um fim do Mundo) at 6 p.m. The story portrays the daily lives of young people living in Lisbon whose stories unfold in unpredictable fashion, with improvisations and open-ended storytelling.

· The Battle (La Batalla| 5 de Mayo) at 7:20 p.m.— An epic and emotional history of the events leading up to the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, when the small, poorly equipped Mexican army stunned its French occupiers with a decisive victory.

Tickets are $8-$12 and are available at Brown Paper Tickets.

The 2013 Seattle Latino Film Festival runs Oct. 4-13.
