About ¡CineMás!
Presented by the Atlanta Film Society, ¡CineMás! highlights films and filmmakers from Latin America. The inspiration for ¡Cinemás! is the Latin American Film Festival that enjoyed a 25-year run at the High Museum, programmed by the late Media Arts Curator, Linda Dubler. In this spirit, ATLFS is pleased to continue this tradition, presenting award-winning Latin American cinema through ¡CineMás! each fall. The mission of ¡CineMás! is to create visibility for Latino films in front of a large audience and support the increasing necessity of Latino representation in film.
