What started with a handful of screenings has evolved into a dynamic programme celebrating cinema and uniting Scotland with the stories, art, and ideas from Latin America and beyond.

Scotland is home to over 50,000 people with roots in Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula, and many more Scots have visited or connected with these regions. We believe that storytelling through film can bring us closer, bridging cultures and perspectives across continents. Latin Connections aims to offer a platform for filmmakers who tell stories that resonate globally: stories of solidarity, identity, love, and justice.

This edition of Latin Connections will celebrate and bring together the cinema and culture of the countries that connect with Latinidad, hosting a vibrant programme with themes of memory, music, oppression, solidarity, and of course cinema.

This month, our free community screenings at Morningside and Craigmillar libraries will act as a preview for the festival with a programme of Brazilian shorts. Latin Connections begins in earnest with Los restos del pasar (The Trail Left by Time) a film that drifts between fiction and non-fiction, told with stunning sensitivity and poetic realism. It follows a man who, in what feels like his final breath, recalls an Easter Week from his childhood in the village where he grew up; seven days that shaped the adult he would become. Screening in both Edinburgh and Glasgow.
