CineFest Latino Boston returns September 25 – 29, 2024! The festival is committed to using the power of film to break stereotypes, bring cultures and communities together and reveal the complex issues affecting the Latinx community in the United States, as well as communities in Latin America and Spain.

We’re pleased to co-present the following films at this year’s fest:

No Se Ve Desde Acá
Directed by Enrique Pedraza Botero
Experimental, 19 mins, USA, 2024
A spatial exploration of Miami, and the endless pursuit of the American Dream in an era of immigrant mass mobilization, the absurd dominance of wealth and border securocracy.

EL SIGNO VACÍO (The Empty Sign)
September 28, 2024 @ 3:30 PM, Emerson Paramount Theatre | Watch Trailer | Ticket Info
Directed by Kathryn Ramey Documentary, 75 mins, USA, 2023

Mixing a hundred years of found footage – tourism, agricultural and propaganda films – with contemporary portraits of artists and activists this film is a journey through the complex layers of the United States’ occupation of Puerto Rico. Using an experimental and ethnographic approach the film reveals how carefully crafted American fictions of “democracy” and “debt” obscure a capitalist and military domination.
