Its magic transforms the everyday into something extraordinary and incredibly seductive, I really recommend it.” Daniela Michel, director of the FICM, said: “It’s a great honor to share this moment with Juan Carlos Rulfo. We were together when he received the award at Sudnance. I was overjoyed to learn he had won Best Documentary, and privileged to be part of the excitement. His documentary has received more awards that any other in Mexican history.” Juan Carlos Rulfo was awarded El Ojo, a sculpture made by Javier Marín especially for the Festival. The celebration continued into the early hours of the morning at the now-traditional Tres Marías party, which was attended by the film community.
