Latinbeat Film Festival

Emerging Pictures, the digital cinema network that has so expanded moviegoers’ choices in the past year with its programs at the Market Arcade, this week presents a selection of nine movies from the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s recent LatinBeat film festival. Originally screened in September at Manhattan’s prestigious Walter Reade Theater, the series includes films from Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Bolivia, Cuba and Venezuela, all in their original language with English subtitles. The features include Nine Queens (pictured), the Argentine hit about an elaborate con game (you may have seen the American remake, Criminal); Chilean novelist Alberto Fuguet’s Se arrienda (For Rent), about a young composer’s failed attempts to remain true to his art; and Al Otro Lado (To the Other Side), Mexico’s official entry to the Academy Awards, a three-part film about children whose fathers were forced to leave their countries to find work.

Friday-Tuesday, October 6-10 at Market Arcade Film & Arts Centre, 639 Main St. (855-3022) www.dipsontheatres.com.
