I enjoy challenging myself sometimes to try and read or follow other media in other languages besides English, and although I could skim over bestselling or top/best of lists in other languages, if those are anything like their English contemporaries, I imagine odds are they don't catch some of the lesser known yet still enjoyable works.
So, what are some works in your native language that haven't been translated to English that you'd recommend? Also if it's not clear by the title, could you mention the language it's in?

Tropa de elite, bacurau and Bingo: o rei das manhãs comes to mind. If you get away from comedy, our most common genre, you get pretty much a good movie from Brazil.
Also, a lot of poetry/music. Unfortunately the spirit gets a bit lot in translation. I'm of the popular opinion that romance languages are the best for them, but the unpopular one that french sucks to hear and brazilian portuguese-spanish-italian are so much better.
As for books, Senhora. It's about a rich woman who "buys" a man in a marriage contract and makes him jump loops as her whims. Written in 1875, 50+ years before women could even vote.
