Experience five days of incredible films, red carpets, and special events at the 27th annual Cine Las Americas International Film Festival, May 14-18, 2025, in Austin, TX, USA. Showcasing storytelling rooted in the vibrant cultures of Latine/x, Indigenous, Latin American, and Ibero-American communities, the festival features narratives, documentaries, shorts, music videos, and the beloved Hecho en Tejas showcase. Discover new voices, connect with filmmakers, and step into a community shaped by nearly three decades of cinema, culture, and creative exchange!
We’re proud to introduce a 2-day conference welcoming filmmakers and film enthusiasts. Featuring fireside chats, hands-on workshops, and roundtable discussions with both emerging and established filmmakers, the conference creates space to share knowledge, build networks, and affirm the growing presence of Latine/x and Indigenous voices in the film industry.
Additionally, our popular section for filmmakers under 19 is now its own full-day festivity. This new platform honors youth-driven stories as a vital force, bringing their work to the big screen with the recognition and care it deserves. The inaugural Emergente Youth International Film Festival will be held the following weekend on May 24, 2025!
