"Latin America has produced some of the most incredible films in world cinema, yet many of its greatest works remain surprisingly unknown outside their home countries. While a handful of directors have gained international recognition, there is a long history of great films waiting to be rediscovered. This list brings together ten underseen gems from across the region (excluding Brazil).
From mid-century noir experiments to politically charged thrillers, hybrid documentaries, and explorations of gender and identity, these films show the range and depth of Latin American storytelling. They also show how much of the continent's cinematic history still lives outside mainstream conversations. Together, they paint a revealing portrait of the region's creative identity, and a reminder of how much there is left to explore."
