I am super excited to be a part of this year's Cine Las Americas Film Festival. My colleague Elizabeth Lopez encouraged me to apply for press credentials to the fest and so far, it has been a really cool, laid back experience. I suppose this is a bit of a double edged sword. It is nice that this event is less chaotic and easier to navigate than SXSW; however, this means that so many people in Austin and elsewhere are really missing out. The fest continues through Thursday April 28, so there is still plenty of films to check out. Most of the screenings are taking place at the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center and at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar. Go to cinelasamericas.org for more details and a film schedule. For non-badgeholders, there are plenty of free events and screenings. Even the screenings at the Alamo (not free) are usually easy to get into. I highly recommend it.
