Cine para todxs 2023: Ana and Bruno by Carlos Carrera

The Morelia International Film Festival (FICM) presents Cine para todxs 2023, a program of exhibition of Mexican, contemporary and classic films, which have marked the history of national cinema, in community spaces.

All the films presented in this program have been made by filmmakers who have been part of past editions of the FICM, like Ana and Bruno (2018), by Carlos Carrera.

This edition of the program, which will take place from July 31 to October 8, 2023, has the valuable support of the Mexican Film Institute (IMCINE) through the Fomento al Cine Mexicano (FOCINE) program.

The animated film is about Ana, a curious girl who escapes from a psychiatric clinic in search of her father to save her mother. With the help of strange and funny fantastic beings, who she meets in that place, she goes on a journey full of exciting and moving adventures.

The film was the closing film of the 15th Morelia International Film Festival. In addition, it received the award for Best Ibero-American Animated Feature Film at the 2018 Quirino Awards, as well as Best Animated Film at the Ariel Awards. It was part of the Official Selection of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2017.
