Morelia International Film Festival

Created in 2002, the Morelia International Film Festival immediately became one of the most important film events of the Latin-American subcontinent. Structured around three competitive selections (short films, documentaries and first or second feature films, all exclusively Mexican), this Festival performs a wonderful work of discovery and fully supports the young talent from its country, following the same principles as La Semaine de la Critique’s international work.
