NTERTAIN'S NEW LATINO FILM FEST

Lex Borrero and Tommy Mottola's NTERTAIN has acquired the Official Latino Film Festival and will relaunch the event as the NVISION Film & Music Festival at the Palm Springs Art Museum 10/10-12.

This year's NVISION fest will mark the event's 10th anniversary. Over the past decade, the festival has showcased thousands of films and featured participants like Xochitl Gomez and George Lopez while honoring more than 200 award recipients.

Mottola and Borrero: Ready for their close-up

NVISION's mission is to "spotlight the Power of Culture," champion diverse Latin talent and provide a prominent platform for discovering and exhibiting innovative work in art and technology.

The acquisition also renews the fest's partnership with the Palm Springs Art Museum.

"Our goal is clear: Impact every area of the media industry by changing the narrative and perception of what could be achieved and created as a culture," Borrero noted. "Danny [Hastings] has built an incredible platform. We’re here to maximize its potential and give creators a prominent platform to display their art."

The NVISION Film & Music Festival will include film screenings, music performances, art exhibitions, technology showcases and panels and presentations that provide insight into the future of art, entertainment and tech. Submissions open today (4/9) for U.S. and international shorts and features in drama, horror/sci-fi, documentary, comedy and other genres and music videos. Winning features will be awarded $10k, while shorts can earn $5k.
