Carlos Carrera is one of the most celebrated Mexican directors. He won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival with the animated short film El héroe (1994); has directed nine animated short films and seven live-action feature films, one of which was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2002 and was the highest grossing movie in Mexican film history for over ten years.

About Ana and Bruno, his first feature film, Carlos Carrera stated: “Animation provides you with the freedom to embrace stories from the direct language of imagination, the approach to human emotions and realistic gestures can be equally represented as the defiance to natural laws within the same narrative logic. Ana y Bruno tells the story of broken and then restored family bonds through a fantasy and adventure tale with touches of humor. The real and imaginary worlds interlace causing a mutual impact”.

For FICM, it is a matter of joy to close its fifteenth edition with Ana and Bruno, a film that even before its commercial release is already a reference in the history of Mexican animation.
