The expansive universe of what it means to be and express as Latino is giving voice to a maturation of that descriptive embracing a new level of diversity that can better represent women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those not necessarily from Latin American countries.

Evolving our branding to CineLatinx will open our own presentation of that expanded universe year-round. Knowing that a great nod to the cinema of Brazil was in the works for the 2019 Denver Film Festival, we decided that shifting this mini-festival into the body of our larger celebration would lead to a more robust program for 2019 and beyond.
