US Rep. Joaquin Castro has launched a nationwide call for the public to suggest Latino-driven films that should be preserved in the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress, according to a press release from his office.“For more than a century, Latino filmmakers have poured their talent and creativity into bringing our stories to the silver screen,” Castro said.
Castro, in 2021, while serving as chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, advocated for “Selena” to be nominated to the registry in 1997. In subsequent years, Castro also nominated two films, “The Ballad of Gregoria Cortez” and “¡Alambrista!” The release said that eligible films must be at least 10 years old. Nominations are encouraged to be made to Castro’s office and directly to the Library of Congress.Mason Hickok is a digital journalist at KSAT.
