CINEOLA is a platform for Latin American stories, connecting audiences with diverse representations of Latinoamérica on film.
"We're excited to launch the first edition of CINEOLA, connecting audiences with stories from across Latin America while supporting the local Latinx community in the San Francisco Bay Area alongside our non-profit partners CARECEN SF. We're delighted to be working with Seed&Spark to bring the festival online and use this opportunity to raise funds for our partner venues, The Roxie and Artists' Television Access, during what is an exceptionally challenging time for independent venues and artists."
