Latino Cinema has become a force to be reckoned with, introducing audiences from around the world to a new generation of dynamic and universal stories. Our list of the 10 most influential and groundbreaking Latino films of the past two decades are films that blur the line between reality and fantasy, explore ideas of love and friendship, and delve into pertinent social and political topics such as poverty, memory and state violence. These films, from regions as diverse as Mexico, Chile, Spain and Brazil, managed to crossover from the arthouse to the mainstream. The 20th anniversary showcase is funded by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.
