Variety recognizes FICM for its hospitality

Not all film festivals are created equal, which is why Variety's Alissa Simon, published an article about the characteristics that make some festivals unforgettable. We are glad to share that FICM is included in her list, because of its hospitality and because of its perfect blend between the social and the cinephile. Here is a fragment of her text:

Musicians entertaining guests of the 10th FICM in Pátzcuaro

“All things considered, however, Mexico’s Morelia fest is hard to beat. As Sight & Sound editor Nick James notes, it offers a ‘uniquely pleasing balance of the social and the cinephile.’ Ahead of last year’s 10th anni edition, more than 70 guests traveled aboard a splendidly appointed Pullman train from Morelia to Pátzcuaro in order to witness Day of the Dead celebrations in this U.N. dubbed Historic World Treasure City.”
