Hailing from Seattle, WA, Madeleine discovered her love of independent film from an early age, attending SIFF’s month-long festival annually. She graduated from the University of North Carolina Wilmington with Honors in Film and Creative Writing, and worked as social media manager for Cucalorus Film Festival while there. After moving to New York in 2015, she started working in the film event space, most notably as creative director & event producer for Videology Bar & Cinema before joining the sales team at Visit in 2021.

Before coming to Visit, Travis worked with film as both an educator and a programmer. In southern California, he taught film studies courses at Santa Barbara City College and the Oak Grove School. During a pandemic stint in Vermont that lasted for more years than he had anticipated, Travis programmed for the Vermont International Film Festival, White River Indie Films, and the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth College. He was regularly drawn to the Visit catalogue, booking such daring works as the Oscar-nominated Ascension, the Silver Bear-winning Robe of Gems, and the Ukrainian documentary Rule of Two Walls.

With a background spanning production, development and acquisitions; Ray has experience with boutique agencies and major media brands, including the American Film Institute, FilmNation, the Intellectual Property Group, Showtime and AMC’s Shudder. Her passion for distribution of independent cinema grew through volunteer involvement with NewFEST Pride, and she is thrilled to be in-house as Visit’s Sales & Marketing Coordinator.

Raised partially on the West and East coasts, Sophie graduated from Wesleyan University where she nourished her love for independent and foreign films. It was there that she established her background in film education, film criticism, production, and repertory programming. Having moved to New York in the Summer of 2023, Sophie started for Visit in festivals but soon found herself working primarily in acquisitions and sales.

Originally from Connecticut, Ariana studied at Scripps College in California where she majored in media studies and French. She then worked in fashion, initially in wholesales and then in e-commerce at Kidiliz Group. In 2018, Ariana moved to France, where she eventually pursued a master’s degree in film at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle. Through this master’s, she completed an internship in film production and acquisitions at Logical Pictures, solidifying her love for film. During the summer of 2023, she moved back to the United States, and in March 2024, she started to work at Visit Films as a Festivals Assistant.

Lydia grew up in Louisville, Kentucky and attended Oberlin College, where she found her love for producing films and editing student work. She graduated in June of 2022 with degrees in both Film and Economics. She moved to New York in early 2022 for internship work, and found a home at Visit, where she handles post-production materials and delivery.

The Charlotte Latino Film Festival: What You Need to Know

Posted on April 1, 2024

The first Charlotte Latino Film Festival opens at the IPH on Thursday, April 4. Presented by Cine Casual , the festival will screen 11 films over 10 days. Its founder, Giovanna Torres, tells us about opening night, Latin American cinema, and the films you won’t want to miss.  

This is your first festival. How did it all begin?

My husband [Alex Piñeres] and I started the Cine Casual blog in 2016. We were writing about films and interviewing filmmakers. In 2019, we applied for a Knight Foundation grant, and that was the seed funding to start a film series. It was the first grant we had ever written, and we got it, so that was a nice pat on the back. We started the film series in January 2020, right before Covid.  

I remember our very first screening, at Camp North End. We had never organized a film screening before. It was a Colombian film, and it sold out. We had to turn away people at the door. The plan was to screen six films, and we got through the first four. The last two, we ended up screening virtually. When everything started opening back up, we started collaborating with a few folks, including the Charlotte Film Society. We’ve collaborated with Charlotte Pride and other festivals in town. We celebrated our third film series last year.  

What kind of response have you received from the community?

We’ve had folks who have been coming since day one. When they come out of a screening, we have an accompanying cultural experience, and they let us know how needed this is in Charlotte, how happy they are that it’s taking place, and how they’re looking forward to more. That’s in part why we decided to transition to the film festival format, to provide more films, more experiences, bring more guests.

How would you describe Latin American film today?

What I like about it mostly is that it’s so bold. It’s different from what we’re used to watching here, and Latin American film is having one of its best moments ever, in terms of exposure internationally. It’s a great time to get into Latin American cinema.

T ell us about the Argentinian film Empieza el Baile , which will open the festival.

It’s a play on words: In English it’s Let the Dance Begin , and this our inaugural Charlotte Latino Film Festival. But it also sets the tone for what’s to come. It has a little bit of everything: drama, comedy. It has amazing top-of-the-line actors, such as Mercedes Morán and Darío Grandinetti .

What else will we see at the opening?

We always like to highlight local artists, community leaders, small business owners. So for this Argentinian film, Tango CLT will do a short tango demonstration beforehand. The film is about a fictional couple who were among the best tango dancers of their time, so it fits right in. And we’ll have Argentinian empanadas and wine.

Can you highlight other festival films that you’re excited to see on the big screen?

Érase una Vez en el Caribe is exciting: It’s been described as a Caribbean, Western, Samurai film. This is its East Coast premiere. And we are bringing in one of its stars, Modesto Lacén , a well-known Puerto Rican actor and director, to present the film.

The second one I would highlight is Bulls and Saints . It was directed by Rodrigo Dorfman , a Latin American filmmaker based in Durham. It’s part of our Hecho Aquí initiative, which means ‘made here.’ The goal is to highlight productions made here in North Carolina by Latin American talent. That’s a really exciting one for us.  

What are your hopes for the festival?

The main thing is for it to be sustainable so that it can take place every year. And for Charlotte to become a hub for Latin American cinema in the Southeast. We do have Miami, but right here in the, quote, New South, there’s a gap. And I feel like the Charlotte Latino Film Festival can fill that void.

Some highlights from the 34 th annual festival in 2012 include the American film director Tim Burton receiving the honorary prize for contribution to world cinema.

VALLEY FORGE: NO FOOD, NO SOLDIER! 13 Min The New York Times No history books about the Revolution for children acknowledged that the cry, “No Food, No Soldier” was heard in Valley Forge. This revisionist film dispels the myth that all were heroes in Pennsylvania.

Banff Mountain Film Festival

The Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour is coming to the Reno Ballroom in downtown on April 14. The World Tour offers attendees a chance to view a collection of mountain sports, mountain culture, environment and outdoor adventure stories, captured by various crews across the globe, including those from the United States, Canada, Switzerland, France, Sweden and more.

The festival is Nevada Land Trust’s largest fundraiser of the year and proceeds from tickets support multiple active projects to preserve land, water rights, historical sites and more across the state. The Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (The Banff Centre), a learning organization working to inspire individuals to unleash creative potential through a variety of programming, has licensed 37 films to sample within the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour.

In addition, the festival includes an exhibit hall, where attendees can connect with likeminded environmentally conscious organizations and vendors. Exhibit Hall Partners includes Friends of Nevada Wilderness, Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful, Great Basin National Park Foundation and Great Basin Outdoor School, with several more scheduled to exhibit. “Every year this festival gives us an opportunity to endear new supporters and to reinspire existing friends as to the ‘why’ behind our work in conserving land,” said Alicia Reban, executive director for Nevada Land Trust. “The imagery we encounter thanks to the tremendous talent of these film crews reminds us of the potential and the power that the outdoors offers, so long as we protect its right to remain rugged and open, accessible for all. This film stop reinforces our belief we should be doing this work with passion, partnership and permanence.”
