Women will be in the spotlight at the 6th annual Cine Latino film festival, which will take place November 8-11 at the Film Society’s St. Anthony Main Theatre Screen No. 3. Of the 13 features and 13 shorts to be presented this year, nine are directed by women. Three features by male directors tell women’s stories. The opening night film on November 8 is “Roma,” from Oscar-winning Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón (“Gravity”). Centered on a young domestic worker for a family in a middle-class Mexico City neighborhood in the early 1970s, a time of political turmoil, it’s a love letter to the women who raised him. “Roma” won top prize at the 2018 Venice Film Festival and is Mexico’s submission for best foreign-language film to the 2019 Oscars. Three features have women directors.
