Latin American cinematic events have highlighted regional diversity and technological evolution. In Rio de Janeiro, the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil hosted ‘Soy Loco por Ti, Centroamérica’, a free showcase of 21 works from Central American filmmakers. Curated by Laura Bermúdez, the program aimed to present themes such as migration, indigenous memory, and environmental preservation to Brazilian audiences.

Following these regional showcases, Havana is set to host the 47th Festival Internacional del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano. This edition will feature Brazil as the focus country and center its discussions on the use of artificial intelligence in cinema. The festival will also honor the centenary of Cuban filmmaker Julio García Espinosa.
