Mexican Cinema. Shared Visions
The parallel section Mexican Cinema. Shared Visions explores the references of Mexican filmmaking that have inspired the current generation of filmmakers.
“The war was over. Hollywood regained its markets and the Golden Age of Mexican cinema evaporated into the arid 1960s, where surviving and budding filmmakers set about putting together New Mexican Cinema… which never quite got off the ground, but which led to solitary, curious, essential works that sought their raison d’être amongst the heartrending landscapes of our reality. The films shown here offer a sensible, terse and engaging glimpse at the collective Mexican imagination from the last fifty years.” Ricardo Benet, film director.
With the collaboration of Casa Amèrica Catalunya, Consulado de México, Imcine and Filmoteca de la UNAM.
This Parallel Section also features the roundtable Mexican Filmmaking. Achievements and Contradictions, with Arturo Ripstein and Ricardo Benet.
