The screening was attended by director Giuseppe Ferlito, artist and star of the film Jordi Mollà, founder and general director of FICM Daniela Michel, Morelia Mayor Alfonso Martínez, and Miguel Mier, VP of Global Programming and Content at Cinépolis.

The film closely follows the friendship of painters Domingo Zapata and Jordi Mollà, who also had the opportunity to make an artistic intervention in Morelia.

"Jordi, it is an honor to have you in Morelia, a city where we are working hard for culture, art and music," Alfonso Martínez said to the Spanish artist, taking the opportunity to appreciate the work that the artist intervened during the festival, which will remain as a gift to the municipality.

Alfonso Martínez also had a gift prepared for the artist: a capulineado platter with a fish design that alludes to the poster for the 21st FICM. This is a typical craft from the municipality of Capula, Michoacán. 

"Thanks to Morelia, to the mayor's office, to the tourism and culture departments, to Daniela and Miguel," Mollà responded.

"It is a pleasure as a director to be here at this festival. It is an honor and thank you all," added Ferlito to begin the screening of the documentary.
