- **Event Name**: Nacho Libre (20th Anniversary Screening) at the Rio Theatre
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 01 May, 2026 at 11:15 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: In 2006, writer-irector Jared Hess followed up his wildly popular indie cult-comedy NAPOLEON DYNAMITE with NACHO LIBRE, which find a similar groove by employing much of the same deadpan humour and sweet silliness  – plus Jack Black. Ignacio (Black), is a disrespected cook at a Mexican monastery, can barely afford to feed the orphans who live there. Inspired by a local wrestling hero, he decides to moonlight as the not-so-famous Luchador “Nacho Libre” to earn money for the monastery — not to mention the admiration of beautiful nun Sister Encarnación.

“It’s more outrageous than hilarious, yet Nacho Libre has the same kind of sweet poignancy its filmmaker Jared Hess brought to his 2004 cult hit Napoleon Dynamite.” (Urban Cinefile)
