aluCine is the premiere showcase of cutting-edge Latin short film and video. From its beginning aluCine has included and international showcase to promote critical dialogue between Latin and non-Latin artists. Our talks and workshops examine diverse theoretical, philosophical and technical perspectives on visual representation. For 2009 alucine continues the productive rethinking of issues around programming, and representation.

While acknowledging specificities, using trans- or interdisciplinary optics we explore the boundaries and location of contemporary film and video practices that challenge monothematic and mono-visual definitions.

With the combining of an open call for submissions and invitations to international curators we deliver a festival that explores new conceptual and geographical territories. The Festival is taking place at Cinecycle, the alternative film venue that has been in operation since the 1970' and Lennox Contemporary Gallery.
Notice that this year we have specal jury: the audience.
