What is FICG?
The Guadalajara International Film Festival (FICG) is a film and cultural event of great relevance for Guadalajara and for the country, as it is one of the most important showcases for the appreciation, dissemination, promotion and distribution of Mexican and Latin American cinema.
It is a festival of everyone and for everyone. Our work is aimed at the diffusion and enjoyment of film culture through various activities that consider cinema as an industry, entertainment and art.
FICG is the most solid film festival in Latin America and the longest running in Mexico. For these reasons it has a wide range of offerings for the film industry, which has allowed it to position itself nationally and internationally. FICG is a space for training, instruction and creative exchange between professionals, international film critics and students from Ibero-America.
What kind of films are shown at FICG?
Of all kinds, of all genres; FICG is a diverse sample of world and national cinematography.
