CineFestival San Antonio, San Antonio’s original Latinx film festival, returns with a greater than-ever Texas filmmaker presence. Featuring 114 films, including 38 films from San Antonio and 40 films from the Lone Star State, the 44th festival continues to support local and regional filmmakers, while offering a well-rounded program to local audiences that also includes national and international films that highlight artistic excellence and diversity.
The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center will add an extra day to CineFestival San Antonio to accommodate the high volume of submissions. This year, the festival will feature 31 screenings showcasing 15 feature films and 99 short films.
The festival will open with a special 30th anniversary screening of Blood In, Blood Out, directed by Taylor Hackford. It will close with the San Antonio premiere of the documentary Going Varsity in Mariachi, directed by Alejandra Vasquez and Sam Osborn, which focuses on Edinburg North High School's acclaimed Mariachi Oro in South Texas, as they rebuild their 20-member varsity group and work on a shoestring budget to compete in the state championships.
