12 Years of Cannes Winners at FICM

For the past 12 years, as well as showcasing the work of young Mexican filmmakers, FICM has brought the best of contemporary international cinema to Mexico, including many films that premiered in the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.

A list of all of the films from the French Riviera that have screened at FICM would be very long so, for practical reasons, we have decided to limit our list to feature films that were awarded prizes in the last 10 years of Cannes. It is worth mentioning that, since 2005, FICM has screened the winner of the Palme d’Or in Mexico.

Below, you will find the 48 prize-winning films from Cannes that have been screened at FICM:

FICM has also had a strong alliance with the Critics’ Week at the Cannes Film Festival, and each year we present a selection of films from the section in Morelia, often with the presence of their directors.

The programme for the 13th edition of FICM is still a while away from being announced, but closer to the festival (which this year will take place from October 23 – November 1) we will reveal the films from the Cannes Official Selection that will form part of our 13th festival.
