The Latinx Project at NYU and Cinema Tropical present the second edition of the Latinx Film Showcase, a one-day series celebrating the remarkable work of U.S. Latinx filmmakers. This year’s program features three acclaimed debut features, all nominated at the 15th edition of the Cinema Tropical Awards, along with talkback sessions with select directors.
The lineup includes The In Between, Robie Flores’ lyrical documentary essay offering an unexpected portrait of the U.S.-Mexico border; Skin of Glass, Denise Zmekhol’s personal documentary and winner of the Cinema Tropical Award for Best U.S. Latinx Film; and In the Summers, Alessandra Lacorazza’s semi-autobiographical drama, winner of the Grand Jury Prize and Best Director Award at Sundance, starring René “Residente” Pérez Joglar in a powerful cinematic debut.
