Through acclaimed films from Latin America\, the Caribbean\, and the diaspora\, the series invites audiences to discover compelling stories that spark dialogue\, reflection\, and cultural exchange. Stay after the screening for conversation and community. \nCurated by Sebastián Rea. \n\nUn Poeta \nDirected by Simón Mesa Soto (2025) \nÓscar was once a celebrated poet. Now he drinks too much\, works as a substitute teacher to pay the rent\, and mostly avoids his own reflection. Everything changes when he meets Yurlady\, a teenager from a working-class neighborhood in Medellín whose extraordinary talent reignites his ambitions. \nRather than offering a conventional mentorship story\, Un Poeta explores the complicated dynamics of generosity\, ambition\, and ego. With dark humor and a sharp\, deadpan tone\, director Simón Mesa Soto delivers a compelling character study that won the Jury Prize in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. \nFree.
