Latino Fims at Tribeca Film Festival


This year’s Tribeca Film Festival (June 4–15) brings a powerful lineup of U.S. Latino and Latin American films spanning fiction, documentary, and music. From Indigenous resistance in the Brazilian Amazon in Yanuni (Closing Night Gala), to Puerto Rican class tensions in Esta Isla, to poetic Chilean and Mexican coming-of-age tales (Cuerpo Celeste, Twelve Moons), these stories pulse with political urgency and emotional depth. Sci-fi meets social commentary in Uruguay’s A Bright Future and the gritty redemption drama Kites set in Rio’s favelas. U.S. Latino directors spotlight untold stories—from racetrack laborers in Backside, to language preservation in Runa Simi, to Kalief Browder’s legacy in For Venida, for Kalief. Music takes center stage too, with intimate portraits of Depeche Mode, Becky G, and competitive a cappella in Just Sing. Tribeca 2025 shows Latino cinema in all its complexity: bold, personal, and boundary-pushing.
