The 12th Annual New York International Latino Film Festival (NYILFF) just wrapped up and we learned so much about our vibrant Latin culture from the entertaining and diverse movies that were screened from all over the U.S. and Latin America. From animated Cuban lovers united by music to Pitbull sharing his fondest childhood memory, there was something for everyone.

Here are our highlights:

Chico & Rita

Directed by Spanish men Fernando Trueba, Javier Mariscal, and Tono Errando, the animated film opened NYILFF this year – a first for the festival. Set in 1948 Cuba, Chico & Rita is a love story centered on a piano player and a talented singer who come together through their passion for music. They’re both taken on a journey through the world – New York, Paris, Hollywood, and Las Vegas. The film’s rich color palette and music’s warmth are sure to draw you in (pun intended).
