Anna Marie de la Fuente Mexico’s Monterrey International Film Festival marks a milestone 20th edition with inaugural industry programs, a robust lineup and new team members as it seeks to further boost its international profile.
The event will be held from Sept. 25 to Oct. 2 in Parque Fundidora, Monterrey, with two new programs, WIP and ProMeetings, leading its industry section.
Festival board president Lorena Villarreal spearheads the festival, which will highlight a selection of world-class films sourced from top-tier festivals, including Cannes, Berlin, Tribeca and Sundance. “The Festival is also expanding its industry footprint to establish itself as a bridge between the U.S., Iberoamerica and Mexico while supporting our local industry in Nuevo Leon with more programs and notable guests and honorees to be announced very soon,” she said, listing the likes of Andrea Arnold’s “Bird” ; Agathe Riedinger’s debut film “Wild Diamond,” which world premiered in Cannes; the Sundance-winning doc “Sugarcane” by Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie and “Another End” by Piero Messina.
Building on its expansion plans of last year, the fest has bolstered its team with the recent hires of Diana Cobos as general manager and LA-based Mexican producer Eva Ruiz de Chávez as industry manager, succeeding Diana Cadavid.
