Watch the Best Latin American Films of the Year in New York This Weekend

As Hollywood readies itself to celebrate the most celebrated films of the year at the (mostly Latino-less) Oscars, New Yorkers can head to the Museum of the Moving Image to catch an entire lineup of excellent Latin American films that have won plenty of accolades themselves. After announcing the winners of the 7th annual Cinema Tropical Awards, the New York-based organization is once again partnering with MoMI for the 2017 edition the Cinema Tropical Festival.

Here’s your chance to see some of the most buzzed about films from last year, including Tatiana Huezo’s haunting documentary Tempestad and Nelson Carlo de los Santos’ mixed-genre flick Santa Teresa & Other Stories, both of which comment on the violence against women epidemic in Mexico. Better yet, both directors will be present at their respective screenings for audience Q&As in case you want some one-on-one time with these up and comer Latin American filmmakers. But really, all six films (hailing from Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil) are worth checking out. Find the full list of winners below.

Cinema Tropical Festival takes place February 24-26, 2017 at Museum of the Moving Image in New York
