Denver Film Society Announces Dates for Second Annual CineLatino

The Denver Film Society will host CineLatino Film Festival September 24 - 27 to coincide with Hispanic Heritage month. The four-day long festival will celebrate the best in cinema from Latin America, Mexico, Europe and the United States.

The Festival will present seven feature length films, three documentaries and one retrospective title.

CineLatino will close out the festival with the crowd pleaser, Landfill Harmonic. The film follows the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, a Paraguayan musical group that plays instruments made entirely out of garbage.

When their story goes viral, the orchestra is catapulted into the global spotlight.  Additional highlights of this year's festival include a special screening of the animated hit, The Book of Life, in partnership with the Denver Botanic Gardens. Experts from the Botanic Gardens, as well as the film's Art Director, Paul Sullivan will be on hand to discuss the folklore and symbolism behind Dia de los Muertos. Guests will be invited to decorate their own sugar skull in Henderson's Lounge following the film.

"Last year's CineLatino exceeded everyone's expectations," says Denver Film Society Programming Manager, Ernie Quiroz. "This year's incredible lineup features films from Cannes, Berlin, San Diego Latino, Cine Las Americas, and the Chicago Latino Film Festival. We are proud to add Denver to the list of prestigious festivals celebrating Hispanic and Latino culture and heritage."

"The Denver Film Society is thrilled to bring Latino film and culture to life on the big screen. CineLatino is a four-day celebration of Latino culture that shines a spotlight on the community during Hispanic Heritage Month," says Denver Film Society Programming Manager Ernie Quiroz.
