Matheus Farias and Enock Carvalho's short film "Unliveable" will be screened at JumpStart Performance Co. on Saturday.
The film festival highlights Latinx and international filmmakers at locations across San Antonio.
MonteVideo, an organization founded by filmmaker and Current contributor Manuel Solis that highlights Latinx-themed indie films, will kick off the series at Slab Cinema's Arthouse space on Thursday with a two-part event — a live recording of Joaquin Muerte's paranormal podcast Xicanx Versus Aliens followed by a screening of four out-of-this-world shorts from dynamic filmmakers.
On Friday, MonteVideo brings the reality-blurring, Laredo-set 2023 film Hummingbirds to downtown's Central Library with one of the filmmakers in attendance.
Finally, the fest concludes with three cosmic screenings on Saturday — the "Excursions in Afrofuturism" set of six shorts at 4 p.m., the "Above the Clouds" five-short set at 6 p.m., and the Texas premiere of the 2021 Peruvian film Tiempos Futuros, set in a dystopian parched city, at 8 p.m. All three will take place at JumpStart Performance Co. on the West Side.
Eclipse glasses optional.
