Saturday's screening of La Danza de Los Mirlos will be accompanied by When Cumbia Is On, a short film by Edinburgh-based director Paz Gonzáles. It follows the journey of Peruvian Cumbia as it transcends its Latin American origins to find a new home in Scotland. 🎸

Tickets are still available for The Trail Left by Time, a meditative and beautiful filmic exploration of childhood and memory. Set in a small village in Cordoba, a man named Antonio remembers a week from his childhood that shaped the man he would become.

A visually striking documentary portraying life in the volcanic Aeolian Islands of southern Italy, Islands of Fire makes up part of Volcano Cinema: of Eruptions and Other Stories, a night of short films dedicated to the portrayal of volcanoes onscreen.

Two mountaineers undertake a clandestine expedition to Popocatépetl, one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes on the planet. Faced with the inability to predict explosions, which occur very frequently, surviving or not is a matter of chance.

The eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano in 1985 resulted in one of Colombia's greatest tragedies. Jenifer de la Rosa was one of the children who survived and was later adopted. At 30, motivated by the possibility that her biological mother was still alive, she decided to investigate her roots.

📣 EDINBURGH! This is your chance to see one of the most beautiful Spanish films in recent years, The Trail Left By Time. 📣 Antonio, in his last days of life, remembers a Holy Week from his childhood in a remote village. 7 days that made him the man he is, and the child he cries to become again.

¡QUÉ CALOR! - A Night of Peruvian Cumbia, Food, Films & Celebration Our closing event celebrates one of the region’s most vibrant genres. We will be screening La Danza de los Mirlos, which tells the story of Los Mirlos, pioneers of psychedelic cumbia whose sound still resonates across borders.

In Uberlândia, Brazil, Chico earns his living repairing ovens, which he can easily get into thanks to his small size. Faced with the contempt of a system that relegants him to the ranks of the marginalised, he gradually begins to resist.

Tonight begins Volcano Cinema: Of Eruptions and Other Stories, a strand of the Latin Connections Film Festival showcasing the diverse ways volcanoes have been documented and reimagined through film. 🌋

After practicing various professions, Jacinto (Asdrúbal Melendez) decides to become a movie projectionist. He converts his truck into a whale-shaped travelling cinema and travels across Venezuela, sharing films with people in rural villages. 📽️

The Latin Connections Film Festival kicks off next week with THE TRAIL LEFT BY TIME. It follows a man who, in what feels like his final breath, recalls an Easter Week from his childhood in the village where he grew up; seven days that shaped the adult he would become.

THE SHORT FILMS OF EDUARDO WILLIAMS We will be screening Williams' shorts in Edinburgh and Glasgow this February as part of our Eduardo Williams retrospective.

Brasil: A Slow Film Festival is back, and we are kicking off this year with Neighbouring Sounds (O Som ao Redor) by acclaimed director Kleber Mendonça Filho (Bacurao, Pictures of Ghosts)

THE HUMAN SURGE 3 + DIRECTOR Q&A "While this film may not be based on poetry, the form itself is genuinely poetic in the way the film moves, abandoning anything resembling a plot to establish a series of visual and thematic rhymes, to pursue a new form of cinematic freedom." - Brian Beadie

"In the face of so much anxiety around technology and its impact on politics, the natural world and the human psyche, Williams’ films remind us that another world is possible, and has never been so necessary – nor so potentially within our grasp, if we really desire it."

We are pleased to bring a full retrospective on Eduardo "Teddy" Williams' work in February 2025, with Williams himself being present at four of our events!
