The third edition of LATcinema Fest is here!

Over five days the Latin American film festival of Casa Amèrica Catalunya features nine Latin American films touring the continent from north to south: Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil and Argentina. In the selection you'll find stories that address universal issues such as freedom, the right to fundamental resources, the challenges of youth, mental health and reporting of abuses.

Program highlights include Alejandro Quiroga's Los de abajo (Bolivia, 2022) a wrenching story that addresses the struggle of a family for access to water in the Tarija region; Vera Egito's A Batalha da Rua Maria Antônia (Brazil, 2023) a film that takes us to October 1968 when students and professors of the Left Student Movement faced attacks from the Communist Hunting Command; Diego Soto's Muerte y maravillas (Chile, 2023) a touching piece that opens a window to a group of young friends who are going through issues such as grief, the path to adulthood with deep sensitivity; and La Habana de Fito (Cuba, 2022) Juan Pin Vilar's documentary that follows Argentine singer Fito Páez as he reunites with a city, friends and musicians to share reflections on a country that he has visited for decades.

All films will be screened in original version without subtitles. General admission is €6 per film, or you can buy a pass for four films for €20.
