The Albuquerque Latino Film Festival. ¡Cine Magnífico! is a great sharing space where to envision the newest films by and about Latinos and the Hispanic cultural background as a symbol of unity, richness and a particular way of life.

Organized by Instituto Cervantes in Albuquerque, ¡Cine Magnífico! offers a variety of films, from award-winning to local and up-and-coming filmmakers. It also provides year round film programming.

The festival selects those films representing the Hispanic characteristics and current topics affecting the countries that share this recognizable identity, focusing on people, landscapes and all the elements shaping this particular worldwide community. This years’ screenings will take place at both the National Hispanic Cultural Center and the Guild Cinema.
