XVI Ibero-American Film Showcase

June 12- July 12 2024

We celebrated the vibrant diversity of Ibero-America through the magic of cinema at our XVI Film Showcase. This year's theme, "Urban Living," featured a compelling selection of films that explored the dynamic and multifaceted realities of city life across Ibero-America.

From dramas to charming comedies and documentaries, these films offered a rich diversity of languages, histories, landscapes, traditions, and identities that define the urban experience. They showed us how storytelling can bridge divides, celebrate unique identities, and foster understanding.

We thank everyone who supported us in making this event a success. With your help, we were able to bring together actors, directors, and curators, continuing to promote our cinema in the nation's capital. Your support was invaluable in celebrating the beauty found in our shared urban journeys.
