Cine Las Americas International Film Festival!!

APRIL 21-25 -- Cine Las Americas Media Arts Center presents the 7th Annual Cine Las Americas International Film Festival at
various venues in Austin, Texas. The festival kicks off Wednesday, April 21, at the Alamo Drafthouse Downtown with the long-awaited Austin premiere of Nicotina starring Diego Luna (Y tu Mama Tambien, Frida).

The 2004 festival offers a wide selection of new Latin and Native American cinema, bringing closer the newest artistic creations, socio-political events and cultural expressions from places in every region of the western hemisphere. Some of the highlights of the film program include: a strong presence of Brazilian Cinema; the inclusion for the first time of Native American feature films; a challenging selection of feature documentaries; new views in the realities of immigration and globalization; praised works of low-budget cinematic art; and films made in Texas and by Latinos working in the United States. As always, youth are an important part of the program. "Emergencia" is the youth component of the festival, which includes films made by creators no older than 19, and chosen by students at Johnston High School.

Films will be screening from April 21 to 25 at the Arbor Cinema at Great Hills, The Millenium Youth Entertainment Complex, the Alamo Drafthouse and the Hideout Theater.
