"Janitzio was not conceived by a director or a screenwriter, but by the photographer Luis Márquez, who thought that everyone should know it. He went to live there, learned stories about the place and was embraced there. All scenarios are natural, it's not a set," she said. Ferrer Andrade said that it is the first starring role of Emilio "El Indio" Fernandez, after working in secondary roles in Hollywood, and that the American Jack Draper - photographer of many Cantinflas films - oversaw photography. "This is a good opportunity to see a movie that does not show much. We are happy to see it at FICM, on a big screen. You will see much of Michoacan in it," said Ferrer. Maclovia (1948), by Emilio "El Indio" Fernández, and The Strong Arm (1958) by Giovanni Korporaal are the other films that will be screened during the week.
