Located in the walkway of the Plaza Benito Juárez in the Center of Morelia, the exhibition brings together a large part of Fundación Televisa's photographic collection on Juan Bustillo Oro. There, you can find unpublished photographs of Ahí está el detalle (1940), Ángel Negro (1942 ), Cuando quiere un mexicano (1944), and No basta ser charro (1945), among many more.

The curatorship was carried out by Héctor Orozco, who pointed out the need to disseminate the filmmaker's work, about which little is known. The curator and researcher added that "Bustillo was a very solvent director, throughout his life he was closely linked to the theater, he wrote several screenplays, his interests were varied and there was in him a predilection for detective literature."

Daniela Michel, founder and general director of FICM, invited the public to visit the exhibition and also reminded those present that this edition, the FICM presents, free of charge in theaters and through Cinépolis Klic, a program dedicated to Juan Bustillo Oro.
