The International Film Festival in Guadalajara is today Mexico’s most important film festival, the world’s most important showcase for Mexican and Ibero-American film novelties, and certainly the most active forum for attracting and negotiating projects and works-in-progress in Latin America.
Year after year the participation of filmmakers, curators and industry professionals increases. The Festival’s Board, on the other hand, has spared no effort to attract increasingly more directors who choose Guadalajara as a platform for launching their movies.
Above all, the Festival is a public service organism that services the local community by widening the city’s cultural offer.
The Festival, together with other initiatives such as the International Book Fair – FIL (the largest Spanish language Fair), have made Guadalajara one of the most vigorous poles for creation and innovation in the Spanish-speaking world.
