#LOSCABOS9
11-19 NOVEMBER
With the motto ‘(re)imagine ourselves’, the ninth edition of the Los Cabos International Film Festival was an entirely digital one, offering a new opportunity to dialogue with our audience nationwide. Our film program was made up of 20 national and international titles, of which 95% were premiered in Mexico, and was viewed by an audience of over 45,000 people. We also organized the panels ‘Trans Representation in Contemporary Cinema’ and ‘2020: Towards the Transformation of our Industry’, as well as an exclusive conversation with Demián Bichir, and a talk with director Josephine Decker.
