During the last film of the Hispanic Heritage Film Fest the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System was honored by the visit
of a special guest! Miguel Aleman Urteaga, Consul General of Peru was in attendance and was accompanied by Carlos
Castillo Morales, who is the Appointed Consul of Peru here in Atlanta.
This is the
second time that Carlos Castillo Morales has taken active participation in the
Hispanic Heritage Film Fest, which is held
at Central Library each year during Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept.
15 to Oct. 15). Last year he sponsored two films, Soy Andina and
Undertow. This year, not only did he
bring another film La Prueba, he also invited his boss Mr. Aleman Urteaga to
come to present the movie. Mr Castillo is also letting other consuls know of the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library’s Hispanic Heritage Film Fest and encouraging
them to participate. That is why in early September Jose A. Flores Velasco from
the Argentinian consulate in Atlanta came to the library to
offer his help.
This year’s
film festival offered the following films: Blanca Nieves (Spain), Chico y Rita
(Cuba), Machuca (Argentina), Nine Queens (Argentina) and LaPrueba (Peru). If
you missed them, you can check them out at the library and be sure to watch for
2015’s Hispanic Heritage Film Festival!
