Exploring themes of human rights and migration, Cine Vivo - Perth Independent Latino American Film Festival presents the most relevant and pressing issues of our time, telling stories through all forms of art, letting us see the world through different eyes and experience culture from different perspectives.
While the screen component of this year’s festival will feature original stories from a diverse range of filmmakers, the festival will feature far more than just cinema: it will be a full cultural immersion and a delight for all the senses. Festival-goers will be able to experience the very best in Latin American film, dance, music and art on each night of the program, and Perth’s best local family restaurants will be serving up traditional, authentic feasts on each night of the festival.
