CINELATINO Stuttgart — Film Days Latin America and Spain

CINELATINO since 1993

CINELATINO has existed since 1993 and is now the largest festival for Spanish-language filmmaking in Germany. It is organized by Filmtage Tübingen e.V. with its main venue in Tübingen, a Stuttgart segment, and satellite events in Freiburg and Reutlingen. The Stuttgart screenings from April 23 to 29, 2026, will take place at the Delphi Arthaus Kino at Tübinger Straße 6 in Stuttgart-Süd — a traditional art-house cinema that has been showing independent and world cinema for decades.

Program Structure 2026

The 33rd edition will feature around 20 films: feature films, documentaries, and short films from Latin America and Spain. The program includes the main competition, a short film section, parallel films, and curated series. The country focus in 2026 is Uruguay — the smallest Spanish-speaking country in South America, recognized for its stable democracy, high quality of life, and vibrant film scene. The thematic focus "Human Rights in Latin America" is curated in cooperation with the Interdisciplinary Center for Global South Studies at the University of Tübingen: films about political repression, social inequality, indigenous, queer, and Afro-Latin American communities.

Stuttgart Segment in Detail

The Stuttgart segment opens on Thursday, April 23, at 6:30 PM with the opening film. In the following days, three to five films will be screened daily at the Delphi Arthaus Kino, many with film discussions — directors, screenwriters, and actors will travel to Stuttgart and be available for Q&As. Parallel to the Stuttgart program, screenings will take place in Tübingen (Atelier-Kino, Arsenal), Freiburg, and Reutlingen. Tübingen's main program runs from April 22–29, 2026.

Stuttgart-Süd as a Cultural Hub

The Stuttgart-Süd district around Tübinger Straße is one of the liveliest cultural quarters in the state capital of Baden-Württemberg: the Delphi is here, the Theater am Faden is here, the Filmgalerie 451 is here. CINELATINO therefore fits perfectly into this environment — it functions not as a mass event like the Stuttgarter Filmwinter Festival or the Cannstatter Volksfest, but as a curated cinephile event with a loyal audience.
