A huge thank you to Adobe for their support of Cine Las Americas 💛

Adobe has been a supporter of our work to uplift filmmakers and expand access to culturally rooted storytelling. This May, their staff also rolled up their sleeves and volunteered at our Emergente Youth International Film Festival, spending the day alongside our young filmmakers.

Support like this helps us keep building spaces where Latine/x and Indigenous stories and storytellers can thrive.

Gracias, Adobe, for showing up for our community 🎬

This summer, students from Northeast Austin joined Cine Las Americas’ El Club de Clout program to celebrate and share their own stories by learning a variety of new video tools and resources. We were proud to present this program in partnership with Equidad ATX and Turner-Roberts Recreation Center.

When asked what they learned or gained, here's what students had to say!

“Mapping out your movement or planning something before you shoot” 📝
“How to work with other people” 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾
“Editing styles” 🧑🏽‍💻
“How to not be scared, talk to people, and to make new friends” 💓

That's the kind of growth we love seeing as they head into a new school year, whether they end up behind a camera again or simply carry a little more confidence into their next chapter. 🤩🎬
