Cine Casual works to uplift Latin American art and stories through film.

Since 2020, we’ve organized Charlotte’s Latin American film series, connecting Charlotte’s growing Latino population with high-quality programming that celebrates our cultures, encourages cross-cultural understanding, and fosters a sense of belonging.

This year, thanks to an unwavering amount of support, our Latin American film series becomes the Charlotte Latino Film Festival, celebrating its inaugural edition from April 4 – 14, 2024.

Much more than a movie night

Each film screening is intentionally paired with a pre- or post-film experience, from panel discussions with local leaders to dance and musical performances tied to the film’s themes. When you attend our events, you don’t just watch a movie; you build community by meeting people, discovering Latino artists, and supporting small businesses.
