Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the key statements in the text regarding the audience's role and the festival's focus.
The text highlights independent Latin American filmmakers, stepping into others' lived experiences, and supporting rarely heard voices.
This helps determine what the organizers want the audience to experience or support beyond just watching a movie.
2

These phrases imply a goal of building empathy and providing a platform for underrepresented cultures and stories.
