Accompanied by the festival's president, Alejandro Ramírez; vice president, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Batel; and the founder and general director of FICM, Daniela Michel, the five-time Oscar® winner for Gravity (2013) and Roma (2018), walked down FICM's red carpet, signing autographs and greeting the enthusiastic audience.

"You are the festival," he told them several times, pointing at them and inviting the press to film people in the crowd.

Disclaimer is a gripping psychological thriller starring Oscar® winners Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline, based on the book of the same name by Renée Knight, written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón.

In a packed Room 4, the director was grateful for the festival's invitation to present his series in a theater: "Seeing it like this is like watching a movie."

Cuarón revealed that Cate Blanchett, star of the series, was on the verge of joining him at the presentation, but it was not possible.

This Friday, the 22nd edition of FICM will close with the screening of the second episode of Disclaimer, although it is already available on Apple TV.
