Project Brief

Scope

With over 200,000 students annually, Instituto Cervantes is the world’s largest institution dedicated to teaching Spanish language and culture. Their Albuquerque branch not only offers Spanish courses for individuals and groups but also curates dynamic cultural events that bring the global Hispanic-Latino community to life.
Rad5 Media has partnered with Instituto Cervantes on a variety of video and promotional projects—including work for ¡Cine Magnífico!, New Mexico’s official Latin Film Festival. The festival showcases groundbreaking films by and about Latinos, spanning award-winning international titles, emerging voices, and local New Mexican artists. Screenings take place at cultural landmarks such as the National Hispanic Cultural Center and Guild Cinema, enriching Albuquerque’s art community with stories that reflect diverse perspectives and pressing cultural issues.
Our video campaign captured the vibrancy of ¡Cine Magnífico! while spotlighting films from Spain, Argentina, Mexico, and local filmmakers, offering audiences a cinematic journey through Latino culture and storytelling.
In addition, Rad5 Media produced a promotional film for the Summer Spanish Youth Program, where children from across Albuquerque immerse themselves in language learning through a creative, fun curriculum. This full-immersion program fosters cultural understanding while making Spanish engaging and accessible for the next generation.
