Events Description
The annual aluCine Latin Film + Media Arts Festival, showcases the best in independent Latin American cinema from around the world.
aluCine is Canada’s longest-running Latin film festival and for over 20 years it has captivated more than 65,000 audience members.
The festival is a vital outlet for emerging and established Latin filmmakers living in Canada, Latin America, and the diaspora. In all its endeavours, aluCine strives to transgress aesthetic, ideological and geographical borders and to transcend pre-established notions of representation as they pertain to Latin American culture in Canada.
aluCine stands apart as one of the most comprehensive forums for independent Latin media makers in North America, with a deep focus on media artworks from Latin artists across Canada and the globe that operate outside of “popular” film + media programming. In exhibiting the best Latin Canadian and diasporic works, aluCine is positioned to emphasize cultural representation within an international context.
All films have English subtitles.

The 23rd edition of aluCine Latin Film+Media Arts Festival (October 5-7) will feature 30+ films including an amazing and eclectic array of music-related films from the South. The exciting works traverse moods across the spectrum, all illustrating the power of music and film: serious, humorous, entertaining, enlightening, uplifting, heartbreaking, inspiring, hopeful, informative, social commentary, and more.
Music connects people with memories, nostalgia, and emotions, from the happiness of cumbia from the 60s to the Chilean jazz drummers, from Colombian vallenato to women percussionists in Toronto and Brazilian bossa nova all part of the annual aluCine Latin Film+Media Arts Festival.
