Cinema
Tropical is the definitive source for Latin American film in
the United States. It is
a comprehensive and collaborative project between institutions,
organizations and individuals that work in the promotion of
Latin American cinema. The Cinema Tropical Series showcases
a recent Latin American film each month. In the past few years,
several Latin American countries have seen their filmmaking
industries show signs of recovery and growth, as new ground
in both the commercial and independent fronts is broken. This
series brings a selection of films from both tendencies, giving
Philadelphia
audiences a glimpse into the exciting revitalized cinema from
Latin America.
