El regresado tells the story of a young Cuban painter, a graduate of the National Art School, who returns to his hometown of Gibara in Eastern Cuba to complete his mandatory social service.
At the same time, he has also been drafted into military service, from which he hopes to be exempted once he begins working at a local cultural institution. In Gibara, he reunites with his admired former professor – himself an artist – who has been purged for his aesthetic vision and statements that do not align with the doctrine of Castroism. Gibara has become a small inferno ruled by fear, opportunism, and repression – and compels the young man to make a drastic decision.

This is a singular documentary that revisits the drama of the Cuban dictatorship and its impact across generations, drawing on testimonies from diverse voices within the exile community and using as its leitmotif Fidel Castro’s daughter, Alina Fernández Revuelta. The film highlights perspectives seldom heard in discussions of the turmoil Castroism brought to the island, with figures such as Gloria Estefan, Ricardo Pau-Llosa, José Bedia, Margarita Cano, Nilo Cruz, and Bonco Quiñongo, among others, sharing personal stories conveying hope and long-awaited freedom.
Collectively, they underscore the success of Cuban Americans in the United States – and how their entrepreneurial spirit could help shape a future free Cuba.

Evolving from migrant farmworker to revolutionary artist, Luis Valdez changed American culture. In the 1960s, his El Teatro Campesino performed on flatbed trucks and helped mobilize workers to win the first farmworkers union contract, and his Zoot Suit was the first Chicano play on Broadway.
Yet despite critical rejection that killed the show, he persevered, creating La Bamba – a breakout blockbuster that authentically depicted Mexican American life to the world. Now in its 60th year, El Teatro continues to be a beacon for Latino/a creators. This is the story of an artist who gave voice to the overlooked and opened pathways for generations.
Winner of both the Audience Award: U.S. Documentary and Festival Favorite Award at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.

In a near-future Brazil, productivity is a religion and the elderly are deemed expendable. Tereza (Denise Weinberg) is unceremoniously sent to The Colony, a state-run exile for seniors.
Refusing to be erased, she escapes her daughter’s guardianship to pursue a final wish: to fly. Her journey down the Amazon’s waterways, aided by a drug-smuggling boatman (Rodrigo Santoro) and a bible-selling rebel, becomes a post-tropical delirium fueled by the psychedelic slime of a blue snail.
Director Gabriel Mascaro (Neon Bull) delivers an exquisite odyssey that reinvents the road movie. Visually stunning and fiercely anti-authoritarian, The Blue Trail is a transfixing meditation on the radical, sensual right to stay free.

Armed with a camcorder and a thirst for truths long buried, 18-year-old Spanish orphan Marina is piecing together the ghosts of her parents. Traveling to Vigo to secure a document from her paternal grandparents that’s required for her university application, she finds in her father’s family an icy evasion, forcing her to untangle a web of conflicting memories about her deceased parents.
Carla Simón delivers a luminous, intimate study of auto-fiction, utilizing a mesmerizing performance from Llúcia Garcia to dissect the gap between the stories of absent family members, the stories we create about them, and who they truly were. This is a heart-shattering master class on identity.
