A selection of contemporary films from Central America – with Q&As, drinks, and live music!

The Garden Cinema is thrilled to present the first full-length season of Central American film in the UK. With feature films from Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and El Salvador, and a series of shorts from countries across the isthmus, this innovative collection showcases the very best of contemporary filmmaking from the region.  The season is curated in collaboration with Liz Harvey-Kattou from the University of Westminster, with a shorts event curated by film club Cinema Mentiré. It will feature Q&As with the filmmakers (both remote and in-person), as well as post-film discussions that will help us share and unpack the films’ key themes and contexts. A couple of screenings will be preceded by live music from the region. We will be adding Central American drinks to our bar menu, including Ron Abuelo rum.
