Latin Americans are cropping up more and more in film releases every month and January was no exception. With such releases as "Bleak Street" and "A Perfect Day," Latinos got some solid representation to kick off the New Year.

February promises to be even more eventful for Latin Americans with almost one release per week featuring a prominent actor or director from Latin American descent. Here is a look at the films showing Latinos some love in a month that appropriately contains the day of love.

February 5

"Einstein in Guanajuato" tells the story of the famed film director as he attempts to get a project off the ground in Mexico. During his visit he experiences a sexual experience for the first time, letting his repressed sexuality come to the fore. The film features a number of Latino actors and places Mexican culture at the forefront as the famed auteur tries to make his ultimately unfinished "Que Viva Mexico."

February 12

People looking for Latinos will have two options on Valentine's Day weekend. "Deadpool" might not seem like a Latino film on the surface, but it features Brazilian-American actress Morena Baccarin. The actress was born in Rio de Janeiro and has appeared in a plethora of TV series including "The Flash" and "Gotham."
The other Latino offering on display is Penelope Cruz's appearance in "Zoolander 2."

February 17

Arguably the most important Latino release of February is "Embrace of the Serpent," Colombia's nominee for Best Foreign Language Film. The movie is the first Colombian nominee in the category and follows two separate storylines of exploration in the Amazon.

February 19

Pantelion will unleash its first release of 2016 with "Busco Novia Para Mi Mujer (Looking for a Lover for My Wife)," a comedy featuring Sandra Echeverria and Arathe de la Torre. The premise of the film seems like a riff on Paolo Germi's famous "Divorce: Italian Style" and follows a man looking to find a lover for his wife so that he can finally get a divorce. Whether the film winds up being a classic like the Italian predecessor is yet to be seen, but both Echeverria and de la Torre have built a strong reputation in Mexico and could make this film among Pantelion's best.
