Covering nearly seventy years of cinema history, each film has been selected to highlight a specific film artist that will open your eyes to the massive yet ofttimes overlooked contributions they have made to the film industry: Edward James Olmos, Dolores Del Río, Glauber Rocha, Rita Hayworth, and Alejandro Amenábar. With special introductions and some post-screening discussions, these films provide everyone with an opportunity to celebrate this wonderful film heritage.
