FICM presents the special screening of El gallinero, by Fabián Ibarra Alemañy

Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Batel, vice president of the Morelia International Film Festival (FICM), in the company of director Fabián Ibarra and producer Simón Bross, presented the film El gallinero in the context of the 17th edition of the Festival.

“Today is the same day, nine years later, when Fabián finished his first short film, which he also presented here in Morelia,” said Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas. Fabián Ibarra has developed mainly in theater, so directing a film was a challenge for him: “The peculiar thing is that I held on very tightly to what I can do.”

Carlos, a man fed up with the negligence of a television network, kidnaps the vice president of the company to do justice by his own hands. “We filmed it in three days, with eight cameras in total. It is a hybrid of theater and film, and it is curious that it is premiered at a theater,” said Ibarra, because the screening was at the Melchor Ocampo Theater in the center of Morelia.
