FILMAR en América Latina is Switzerland’s leading festival dedicated to Latin American cinema and cultures. Founded in Geneva in 1999, it champions independent filmmaking through a programme of classics, new releases, and numerous Swiss premieres that explore the social, political and cultural realities of the continent. With a strong focus on minority voices — including Indigenous, Afro-descendant and LGBTQIA+ communities — the festival combines engaged cinema with discussions, filmmaker encounters, educational programmes for young audiences, and festive moments celebrating Latin American music and cuisine.
