The Berlin International Film Festival has announced the films that will make up the Berlinale Special selection at its 67th edition, which will take place from the 9th - 19th February, 2017.

Everardo González documentary La libertad del diablo, which won Impulso Morelia in 2016, will have its world premier at the festival in the Berlinale Special section, which includes a diverse selection of work from contemporary filmmakers.

The sales agent Boutique Films has bought the rights for La libertad del diablo, which, as winner of Impulso Morelia, was awarded the Cinépolis Distribución prize for distribution within Mexico and post-production services at Carlos Reygadas´ Splendor Omnia studio

Impulso Morelia was founded in 2015 as part of FICM´s aim to strengthen the film industry in Mexico and to offer a space for Mexican films in pre- and post-production. At the 14th edition of FICM the second Impulso Morelia was a grand success, attended by important producers, distributors  and programmers from international film festivals.
