This year, the program offers the vision of Mexican filmmakers who, besides displaying an interest in addressing sexual diversity, stand out for their technical freedom; whether through documentary, fiction or animation. There are eight new Mexican short films that are part of the program in its second edition: Which Animal Would You Like to Be? (¿Y a ti qué animal te gustaría ser?), by Pierre Saint Martin Two Whales (Dos ballenas), by Diego Cruz Cilveti dragTHEqueen, by Emilio González In a Land of Macho Men the Queer is King (En tierra de machos el joto es rey), by Dave Carrizosa In a Heartbeat, by Esteban Bravo and Beth David Julkita, by Humberto Busto Pléyade, by David Muñoz Velasco I’m Alex (Soy Alex), by Itzuri Sánchez and Joss Manz During the screenings at the 15th FICM, spectators will be able to vote for their favorite short film and the winner will be awarded with the Audience Award.

All the Mexican and international short films that shape this program confirm the need for an urgent and direct dialogue with reality. At FICM, we know that in order to discuss it we have to begin by recognizing it and, why not, embracing it in the darkness of a movie theater.
