8 Must-See LGBT Movies at NewFest That Aren’t Just About White Cis Men

For its 26th year, NewFest, New York’s LGBT Film Festival, has assembled an engrossing slate of films, ranging from the high profile screening of Todd Haynes’s much-anticipated Carol with Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, to the YouTube-friendly horror comedy You’re Killing Me, just in time for Halloween. It’s an eclectic selection that speaks to the diversity in the LGBT community, and by far more racially and ethnically diverse than the swathe of mainstream gay flicks one tends to come across at the multiplex.

Amidst this younger-skewing selection, those looking for trans stories from Chile, lesbian stories from Venezuela, horror films set in Spain, and forbidden gay affairs set in Mexico are sure to find something to enjoy in NewFest’s offerings this year. Below are the Latino films playing the pioneering fest.

NewFest runs from October 22 – 27, 2015.
