Cinehassee

HiGSA is an organization composed mainly, but not exclusively, of Hispanic graduate students. It welcomes anybody that is interested in learning about Hispanic culture or practicing Spanish. Part of HiGSA’s mission is to promote Hispanic culture at Florida State University and Tallahassee, and to generate awareness of social and political issues in Hispanic countries and their relationship with the USA. Films are a very effective mean of achieving these ends. For this reason the organization has made an effort to screen films from different countries and different topics related to its mission, and hence created Cinehassee.
