The Des Moines Latino Film Festival will return April 11, at the Varsity Cinema in Des Moines. Presented by the Latino Center of Iowa, the day-long event will feature two acclaimed feature films — “American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez,” a Sundance Festival Favorite Award-winning documentary narrated by Edward James Olmos, and “A Poet (Un Poeta),” a Cannes Jury Prize-winning film by Colombian director Simón Mesa Soto. Alongside them, a six-film shorts program will explore themes of community, identity, immigration, health and resilience across Latino communities in the U.S. and Latin America. Screenings will run throughout the day and admission is free. View the full schedule of showings online.
