About

Founded in 1999, Melbourne Filmoteca is an independent, non-for-profit, volunteer-run group that holds monthly screenings of Latin American and Spanish films at ACMI cinemas in Federation Square, Melbourne, Australia.

Melbourne Filmoteca aims to provide a space for people with a broad range of interests and backgrounds to appreciate film, language, music and cultures from Spain and Latin America.

Film screenings are generally the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm, except for January and August, when we do not present any film.

Ruben Blades is not my Name

Yo No Me Llamo Rubén Blades

2nd April ACMI CINEMAS, 6:30 pm.

Singer, songwriter, musician, acclaimed actor, Harvard-educated lawyer, and successful politician. The life and career of Rubén Blades has taken anything but the expected well-trod path. On the cusp of retiring as a performer, and keenly aware that the number of years behind him outnumber the ones to come, salsa’s renaissance man takes an honest and unflinching look back on a life rich with triumph, heartbreak, and above all, a deep and unshakeable love for his people.
