SUMMARY:North Carolina Latin American Film Festival

 tistry of Latin America’s film and audiovisual production. Its mission i
 s to provide a space for Latin American images\, sounds\, and stories to r

 m in Latin American and Caribbean Studies.\n\nThe Consortium in Latin Amer

 um Page | Visit the Duke Consortium Page\n\n\n\n Latin American film has b
 een described as a third way\, not commercial yet not film led by the “a
 uteur.” Latin American cinema lives in-between times\, spaces\, and genr
 es. Connected to past traditions and entangled on modernizing forces\, in 
 constant flux between rural and urban spaces\, contextual and socially eng
 aged\, presenting a reality that is larger than fiction.\n\nThe 2022 NCLAF
 F invites audiences to experience the expanding horizon of audiovisual pro
 duction from Latin America\, its cross-border and inter-genre subjects sha
 ring the complex\, yet the deeply human\, realities of these subjects and 
 social groups.\n\nFilms showing during University Research Week (Please no
