    Latine creators will be recognized at the upcoming NVISION Latino Film & Music Festival. The lineup of films and brief features was revealed alongside prominent panelists including Leslie Grace, Anthony Ramos, and Jessy Terrero.

    For the event’s 10th annual celebration, the NVISION Latino Film & Music Festival is set to take place from October 10-12 in Palm Springs, CA. Films and short features produced by Latine and Spanish filmmakers will be highlighted at the Palm Springs Art Museum. To support inclusivity, over 59 percent of the works being shown were directed by women, and 20 percent of the creators identify as LGBTQ+. Works from Afro-Latine, Indigenous, and directors from the disabled community will also be presented at the festival.

    The selection includes four feature-length films. Among them is the neo-noir Ponyboi, which narrates the story of an intersex sex worker in New Jersey dodging the mob. Crafted by River Gallo and directed by Esteban Arango, this film addresses significant themes. En La Caliente: Tales of a Reggaeton Warrior, directed by Fabien Pisani, presents the story of Cuban artist Kandyman, a pivotal player in defining the genre’s sound. The documentary Esta Ambición Desmedida will premiere in the U.S. at this event. Directors Santos Bacana, Cristina Trenas, and Rogelio Gonzalez chronicle Spanish vocalist C. Tangana at a crucial juncture in his career.

    Among the 35 short films scheduled for screening are Hive, featuring Xochitl Gomez, Shut Up and Fish by Mexican-American music video creators Pasqual Gutiérrez and Raúl “RJ” Sanchez, and the Indigenous tale Tuhaymani’chi Pal Waniqa (The Water Flows Always) created by Gina Milanovich and Nils Cowan.

    A series of panels will also occur, hosted by Grace, Ramos, Terrero, Areli Quirarte, and additional Latine creators. These discussions will include themes such as: Art and Innovation in Music Videos, Leaders Building Lasting Brands, Soundtracks: The Influence of Music in Film, Becoming a Multi-Hyphenate, and much more.
