Yale Film Archive & Beinecke Library: Viva Valdez Film Series
American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez (David Alvarado, 2026, DCP, 92 mins)
Playwright, filmmaker (Zoot Suit, La Bamba), activist, and founder of El Teatro Campesino, Luis Valdez and his colleagues transformed American theater and cinema by putting Chicano stories center stage. Alvarado’s imaginative new documentary traces the remarkable career of an artist whose work fuses politics with performance, folklore with history, and righteous anger with exuberant humor, taking us from the fields of California's Central Valley to Hollywood and Broadway. “A celebration of our successes and progress, and a call to remain proud of one’s roots” (Monica Castillo). Introduction by Sebastián Andrés Grandas.
The Viva Valdez series explores the life and work of filmmaker Luis Valdez, and is co-presented by the Yale Film Archive and the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library.
Yale Film Archive screenings are always free and open to the public. See the full film schedule here.
