After a successful decade in New York and Palm Springs, the NVISION Latino Film & Music Festival is bringing its vibrant celebration of Latino culture to Miami for the very first time. Taking place September 5 and 6 in Downtown Miami, the two-day event promises an unforgettable experience of film, music, and cultural dialogue—anchored by top-tier talent and award-winning programming.
Staying true to its mission of amplifying Latino voices through storytelling, NVISION’s Miami debut will feature a mix of red carpet premieres, live conversations, and panels spotlighting the creativity and influence of the Latino community across entertainment.
Among this year’s highlights is the East Coast premiere of KENIA OS: LA OG, a documentary chronicling the rise of Mexican pop sensation Kenia OS. The artist will be in attendance for a red carpet screening and post-film Q&A, and will also headline Take a Seat, an intimate brunch conversation celebrating Latina voices in entertainment.
Adding to the cinematic prestige, Academy Award-winning director Sebastián Lelio (A Fantastic Woman) will present the North American premiere of his Cannes-selected feature LA OLA, produced by Juan and Pablo Larraín (Jackie, Spencer).
NVISION’s film program also includes standout selections from top festivals like Sundance, Tribeca, and Cannes, such as CUERPO CELESTE, PIPAS, ESTA ISLA, and SERIOUS PEOPLE—each telling powerful and diverse stories from across Latin America and the U.S.
The festival will also feature a special screening of STREET SMART: Lessons from a TV Icon, a documentary honoring Sesame Street legend Sonia Manzano, featuring Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
Enrique Santos, President of iHeartLatino, joins NVISION as both festival host and community advisor, further underscoring the event’s strong cultural ties to Miami and its growing role as a creative hub.
In addition to screenings and live performances, NVISION will offer a lineup of dynamic panels covering topics such as the rise of Latino digital creators like Calle y Poché and Marko, the future of sports content, the art of music scoring, and the intersection of culture and innovation in Miami.
NVISION’s arrival in Miami marks a new chapter for the festival—and a powerful platform for celebrating Latino excellence across the arts.
