For its first two years, Cine piggybacked off the Chicago-Latino Film Festival, which occurred the week prior. Using films screened there eased the bureaucratic headache of getting films directly from distributors in Latin America. The films this year were selected through an international call for entries. While the high profile of U.S.-made films may dilute the festival's international flavor, it encourages consideration of how to place the U.S. Latino experience in a Latin American context. All screenings are regional premieres.
Films are in English or their original language with English subtitles.
There are no screenings on Easter Sunday. Austin Chronicle Corp. All rights reserved.
