List of Chicano films

Chicano films are films that have been associated as being part of the tradition of Chicano cinema.[1] Because of the generally marginal status of Chicanos in the film industry, many Chicano films have not been released for wide theatrical distribution.[1] Not all of the films associated with Chicano cinema have been directed by or written by Chicanos or Mexican Americans, who are not often directors of major films.[1][2]

Luis Valdez directed I Am Joaquin (1969), Zoot Suit (1981), and others.
Sylvia Morales directed Chicana (1979), A Crushing Love (2009), and others.
Edward James Olmos directed American Me (1992) and The Devil Has a Name (2019)
Cheech Marin directed Born in East L.A. (1987)
