The official competitive sections of the Festival Internacional de Cine en Guadalajara comprise nine categories: Mezcal Award, Ibero-American Narrative Feature Film, Ibero-American Documentary Feature Film, Maguey Award, Made in Jalisco, Socio-Environmental Film Award, International Animated Feature Film, Rigo Mora Award and Ibero-American Short Film.
One of the primary tasks of the Festival Internacional de Cine en Guadalajara is to amplify and ensure that its lineup includes films with diverse profiles and origins. In this way, the Official Selection of the FICG includes both entertaining and more complex films. Thematic exhibitions are scheduled annually with outstanding productions from the last year. Upcoming box office hits together with award-winning films are taken into account.
One of the most notable tasks of the Festival Internacional de Cine en Guadalajara is to recognize the work of the personalities in the film industry who are endorsed by the public. In that spirit, each year the Festival provides a well-deserved recognition to the careers of national and international film professionals for their valuable contributions to the seventh art.
