FICM reveals its 20th edition’s Official Selection!

Since 2003, the Morelia International Film Festival (FICM) has worked tirelessly to promote Mexican filmmakers through its Official Selection, made up entirely of Mexican films.

This year, the FICM is pleased to announce that 95 films are part of the competition at the 20th edition of the festival: 11 works in the Michoacan Section, 60 titles in the Mexican Short Film Section (15 animation, 17 documentaries and 28 fiction films), 14 titles in the Mexican Documentary Film Section and 10 titles in the Mexican Feature Film Section.

Of 616 registered titles, 28% were done by female directors (175). In the Official Selection of the 20th FICM, 45% of the films were directed by women.

FICM celebrates two decades of being a unique platform for the promotion of filmmakers in our country. Its sections in competition remain as the foundation of the festival, since our mission is to promote new Mexican talents whose works can cross cultural and aesthetic boundaries.

As in previous years, this #20FICM, which will take place from October 22 to 29, will take place in an hybrid version, with screenings in Morelia city and virtual screenings through Ci-népolis Klic, Canal 22 and FilminLatino.

The official selection of the 20th FICM is made up of:
