Mexico’s Monterrey International Film Festival Marks 20th Year with New Industry Programs, Team (EXCLUSIVE)


Mexico’s Monterrey Film Fest marks 20th edition with inaugural industry programs, a robust lineup and new team members.

Our mission is to elevate new perspectives that are young not by age, but by their critical and bold narrative,” said Cobos, who added: “Nuevo León’s youthful energy is reflected in both our programming and the festival’s overall personality.” Other key titles making their Mexican premieres at the fest include Cannes’ Un Certain Regard entry “Dog on Trial” by Laetitia Dosch, Tribeca Documentary winner “Witches” by Elizabeth Sankey and Barry Keoghan-led thriller “Bring Them Down” by Chris Andrews. The festival is launching a new section called Monterrey Classics that will showcase iconic international and Mexican films led by Wim Wenders’ “Paris, Texas,” which was digitally restored this year at L’Immagine Ritrovata in Bologna.
