The Latinx House is returning to the Sundance Film Festival to celebrate Latinx filmmakers and actors whose films were selected to appear during this year’s week of virtual premieres, panels, and events.
The Latinx House is a gathering place for the Latinx community at the Festival and provides a forum to discuss societal issues, celebrate Latinx talent, and promote Latinx content in order to ensure that Latinx voices are heard and we have a seat at the cultural table. The Latinx House was founded by Alex Martínez Kondracke, Mónica Ramírez, and Olga Segura — and is an official Sundance Institute partner.
This year, the Latinx House is paying tribute to icon Rita Moreno. RITA MORENO: JUST A GIRL WHO DECIDED TO GO FOR IT, a documentary about Rita’s life and career, will premiere as part of the U.S. Documentary Competition selection. Rita will be joined by her friends, Gloria and Emilio Estefan, in the panel.
To recognize Latinx actors with projects at the Festival, The Latinx House will host a panel moderated by Wilmer Valderrama alongside Alessandra Mesa, Ani Mesa, Clifton Collins Jr., and Tenoch Huerta.
Throughout the week, The Latinx House will help recognize the films that are ensuring the Latinx community is represented. The full slate of programming can be found here. All programming will be virtual this year, allowing even more of the Latinx community to experience the Festival.
