Every year, the Sundance Film Festival marks the beginning of a new year for cinema. It’s where must-see flicks become future classics and where indie director darlings become household names. The fest has introduced us to movies like Mosquita y Mari, El Mariachi and Real Women Have Curves, as well as to filmmakers like Alejandro Landes, Alfonso Gómez-Rejón and Patricia Riggen. Held in Park City, Utah, the renowned fest is always a coveted destination for any kind of cinephile. And this year, whether you’re looking to catch a new film on Walter Mercado or a new Wagner Moura starring vehicle, or perhaps even a new doc on Lin-Manuel Miranda, the exhaustive film program has got you covered.
As usual, we scoured the entirety of Sundance’s offerings to find any and all kinds of projects you should have on your radar, the ones you’ll be hearing about for months to come and which you should begin adding to your 2020 must-watch list. See them all below where you’ll find our comprehensive list of everything from U.S. Latino and Latin American talent that’s playing the chilly fest this year.
Sundance Film Festival runs January 23 — February 2, 2020.
