American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez, Sundance event @Longmont Museum
Details
Join me for this Sundance related event at 5 PM at the Longmont Museum, I will be there at 4:30 in the lobby with a sign and doors open at 4:45 to get general admission seats, just be aware there are very limited amounts of tickets available so you need to call the museum to order a ticket if possible, faster than signing up online, as they have to verify your email during their open hours! The same event also repeats at 8 PM if you can’t get tickets at the 5 o’clock showing.
Presented by El Comité de Longmont, the Latino Chamber of Commerce of Boulder County, the Longmont Museum, Su Teatro, and the Sundance Film Festival. Hosted by Erik Mason, Director of the Longmont Museum; Marta Loachamin, Boulder County Commissioner; and Eugene Hernandez, Sundance Film Festival Director and Head of Public Programming and featuring a meet-and-greet with Luis Valdez, director David Alvarado, and Sundance Film Festival Team.
Against political resistance and industry skepticism, Luis Valdez pushes Chicano storytelling from the fields to the film screen with Zoot Suit and La Bamba, crafting iconic works that challenge, celebrate, and expand America’s story. “American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez” is an official selection of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. Film courtesy of Insignia Films and American Masters Pictures. This film will be a special presentation of American Masters and VOCES on PBS.
