Latino Film Showcase

Running time: N/A

As anyone who saw such maverick Latino films as Y Tu Mama Tambien knows, the new revolution in Spanish-language and Latino filmmaking is well underway. With fresh new voices exploring original themes in innovative ways, the new Latino cinema is a force to be reckoned with, as these five films aptly demonstrate. These up-and-coming maverick filmmakers explore themes ranging from patriotism to domestic violence, erotica to the plight of laborers in Puerto Rican fish-cleaning factories and come from territories as diffuse as Spain, Brazil, and Argentina.
