Categories:

TCM's “Race and Hollywood: Latino Images in Film” festival will take place Tuesday and Thursday nights in May, beginning at 8 p.m. (ET). Each night's collection of films will be centered on a particular theme, from the silent era dating to 1910, views of border towns and small ethnic towns, musicals, stories featuring interracial relationships, explorations of social problems and Latino representations in past and current westerns.

Several films from recent decades will also make their first appearance on TCM, including The Milagro Beanfield War (1988), La Bamba (1987), The Mambo Kings (1992), Stand and Deliver (1988), The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez (1983) and Lone Star (1996). In addition, each evening will feature a specially chosen film for late-night movie fans.

For a complete schedule of films to air on TCM as part of the festival, see local listings or log on to the website at http://www.tcm.com/
