UCI Latin American Film Festival 2024
For over 15 years, faculty and students in the Spanish and Portuguese department have organized a Latin American Film Festival featuring recent Latin American films which have not been commercially released in the United States. Each film is introduced by a presenter who facilitates the always lively discussions that follow each screening.
Curated by Jacobo Sefamí, Viviane Mahieux, Fernanda Hernández Paredes, and Raúl Romo, the 2024 UCI Latin American Film Festival offered an immersive exploration of Latin American cinema. Held on January 30, February 6, 8, and 13, the festival was proudly co-sponsored by the Department of Film and Media Studies, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
Over four days, attendees enjoyed captivating in-person screenings, each followed by insightful discussions with experts and film enthusiasts.
This event was free and open to the public, marking a memorable cinematic celebration.
