Presented by the Atlanta Film Society, ¡CineMás! highlights stories and perspectives from Latin America.
The mission of ¡CINEMÁS! is to create support and visibility for Latin artistry as the growing need for Latin representation goes unmet in media and entertainment. This program highlights stories & perspectives from Latin America to create better cultural understanding and opportunities for Latin filmmakers and film lovers alike.
Inspired by the Latin American Film Festival that held a 25 year run at the High Museum of Art, by the late Linda Dubler, the Atlanta Film Society's former Executive Director. Our program aims to patch the gap made by its absence from the Atlanta art scene by continuing its legacy of presenting award-winning Latin American cinema to the local community.
