Official lineup for the NVISION Latino Film and Music Festival released

This year's festival will take place October 10-12 in partnership with the Palm Springs Art Museum and will present a diverse selection of films that highlight Latin American culture, indigenous communities, LGBTQ+ stories and more. The films represent a wide range of countries, including the United States, Cuba, Spain, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Canada, Mexico, Argentina and Costa Rica.

According to a press release, 59% of the films are directed by women and about 20% of the program represents LGBTQA+ filmmakers, along with numerous works from the Afro-Latino, disabled and indigenous communities.

“Each film in our selection is a testament to the creativity, resilience and diverse perspectives of Latinx artists from around the world. This year's program showcases bold stories that challenge, inspire and celebrate the richness of our culture,” said Lex Borrero, co-founder and CEO of NTERTAIN, in a statement. “While it's important to champion these artists who have created remarkable independent features and short films, it's equally important to create a space where they know they have a community to lean on. Our festival aims to provide them with inspiring conversations and practical resources to help them continue to succeed and rise to the upper echelons of the entertainment industry. We can't wait for audiences to experience these powerful narratives and the undeniable talent behind them.”
