The Forum on Indigenous Peoples 2020 is now available at Cinépolis KLIC

The 18th Morelia International Film Festival (FICM) presents the Forum on Indigenous Peoples 2020, which program includes two conversations and the exhibition of the works of the guest filmmakers.

The talks are aimed at exchanging reflections among the participating filmmakers about the factors that modulate and reflect indigenous identity in the context of contemporary society, and from the perspective of cinematographic creation.

They will discuss elements such as language, music, traditions, belonging to a community or a territory, displacement and migration;  all of which are factors that contribute to the identity construction of communities.

Both conversations will be available from Friday, October 30 at 10:30 am at Cinépolis KLIC. In addition, the short programs are also available on the Cinépolis platform.

You will also be able to find these conversations at www.moreliafilmfest.com.
