Cines del Sur

Cines del Sur is an international film festival in Granada, Spain, that focuses on emerging cinemas belonging to what is known as the geo-political south.

Film productions (from Asia, Africa and Latin America) which often have limited distribution and screening opportunities find in Cines del Sur a platform to help them gain recognition.

While the festival takes place, several squares and public buildings in Granada become large outdoor cinemas, where a diverse audience joins to enjoy the films.

A number of events with scholars in the field are organised during the festival and throughout the year, as are film and video workshops, exhibits, seminars, round tables and outdoor screenings.

Study and reflection on the cinemas of the south find their place in the Festival's publications, which serve to inform readers about the films screened and the subjects and figures who receive tribute in the retrospectives.
