The 96th Oscars ceremony is a new opportunity for Latinos and Latin Americans in the moviemaking business to be recognized for excellence in cinema. America Ferrera has earned her first Oscar nomination and Colman Domingo has become the first Afro-Latino nominated for best actor.

And yet, representation of Latinos on the big screen has remained stagnant.

We spoke to Andes survivor Roberto Canessa and actor Matias Recalt from \u201cThe Society of the Snow;\u201d director Maite Alberdi from \u201cThe Eternal Memory;\u201d and producer Phil Lord from \u201cSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.\u201d
