Attend the Fest

 

The 24th edition of Cine Las Americas International Film Festival (CLAIFF24) will take place June 8-12, 2022 in Austin, TX. The upcoming edition will mark a long-anticipated return to in-theater screenings.

CLAIFF looks forward to bringing more filmmakers back to Austin as well as celebrating local talent from the state of Texas, as the film festival continues its mission to showcase films and videos from Latin America (North, Central, South America, and the Caribbean) and the Iberian Peninsula. Films and videos made by or about Latinxs in the U.S. or the rest of the world, as well as films and videos by or about indigenous groups of the Americas are also featured.
