WHERE IS CINEMAISSÍ THIS YEAR?
ABOUT US
Cinemaissí Latin American Film Festival aims to promote appealing, thought-provoking, and novel Latin American cinema in Finland.
Through film screenings, conversations, and other encounters, the festival has created a platform for the enjoyment and debate of Latin American culture, politics, and society.
Cinemaissí Latin American Film Festival understands that Latin American realities are multiple and varied. It is our privilege and responsibility to offer our audience a carefully curated program that reflects Latin America’s diversity.
Founded in 2005 by the non-profit association with the same name, the festival welcomes with open arms everyone interested in the Latin American region.

WHERE IS CINEMAISSÍ THIS YEAR?
Caisa Cultural Center is located at the heart of Kallio, in Kaikukatu 4. Caisa functions as a hub for urban culture, hosting performances, events, exhibitions, and providing teaching in the arts. Caisa is entirely accessible: no obstacles or heights differences exist in the corridor.
Kino Engel is located right downtown, in Sofiankatu 4, in the heart of the completely renovated Torikortteli. Besides hosting film festivals and other events, Engel offers well curated screenings throughout the year. Engel is accessible by an elevator, and the movie halls have space for one wheelchair. Please notify of a wheelchair in advance, so the staff can unlock the elevator for you.
