Back in October 2015, Women in Film launched the #52FilmsByWomen campaign. The brief was simple: pledge and commit to watching (at least) one film directed by a female filmmaker a week. It sounds easy enough. That it would be a challenge at all spoke more to the systemic sexism that plagues filmmaking. In Hollywood alone, the problem has been such that a recent investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found that major studios were discriminating against women when hiring.

This being Women’s History Month, we here at Remezcla wanted to take the time to shed a light on the many kickass Latinas who are breaking glass ceilings and changing the Latin American cinematic landscape in spite of the many obstacles they come upon. And while we could’ve easily made this a much much longer list, we went ahead and narrowed our list to 20 working female filmmakers that should be on your radar.

Hailing from all over the Americas and offering a wide range of genres and styles, these 20 directors have earned Oscar nominations, won accolades from the most esteemed film festivals from all over the world, worked with some of the best actors around, and told stories as diverse as you can imagine — from documentaries on the legacy of the armed conflict in El Salvador to bisexual teen rom-coms set in Chile, and everything in between. Consider this but a mere sampling of the strong pool of Latina filmmakers working today.
