The Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) is pleased to present the 2020-2021 Latin American Film Series. This series was curated by Luciana Lemos, a Brazilian GSPIA student with experience organizing independent film festivals. The topics vary from gender issues, race and ethnicity in Latin America and the Caribbean, to hopes and dreams for the future, and a reflection on the tensions between parental expectations and staying true to oneself.
The films will be screened approximately once per month. During the fall semester, films will be online due to the University's operating posture. Screenings will start at 6:00 pm. Please join us after the screening to participate in a discussion with actors, producers, directors, subject experts, and/or faculty. Please register for each film individually.
