From December 4 to 8, 2024, Los Cabos will become the epicenter of world cinema with the twelfth edition of the Los Cabos International Film Festival. This event, recognized for its focus on Mexican and international cinema, brings a selection of films that address relevant and moving themes, consolidating itself as a cultural bridge between Mexico and the world.

Exclusive Premieres and Connection with Music

The opening gala will kick off with the screening of "Better Man," a bold biography directed by Michael Gracey about pop icon Robbie Williams. This film, along with others such as "Maria," directed by Pablo Larraín and starring Angelina Jolie, highlights the power of music as a universal language. Jolie plays Maria Callas, the legendary opera singer, in a performance that is already shaping up to be worthy of an Oscar.

Mexican Frames: A Journey to the Heart of National Cinema

The festival celebrates the best of national cinema through its Encuadres Mexicanos section, which brings together six films produced in the last year. These stories, from the agoraphobic protagonist of "Corina" to the exciting search for justice in "No Nos Moverán," offer an intimate portrait of the social and cultural complexities of Mexico.

Among the most notable titles is "La Raya," directed by Yolanda Cruz, which explores the dreams and challenges in a forgotten town. Likewise, "Un Cuento de Pescadores," by Edgar Nito, intertwines mythology and social criticism through the mysterious figure of "La Miringua."

Cinema Without Borders and Global Co-Productions

Thanks to international collaborations, the Encuadres Mexicanos Sin Fronteras program takes audiences to new narrative latitudes. Films such as "El Jockey," a co-production of Mexico, Spain and Argentina, and "El Ladrón de Perros," which connects Bolivia, Mexico and Europe, broaden audiences' perspectives on universal themes such as identity and family.

In addition, the festival addresses the transformation of the cinematic experience with discussions such as "From the Movie Theater to the Pocket," which reflects on the impact of streaming on consumer habits, and "Mexico: A Cinema Without Borders," where experts debate the internationalization of Mexican cinema.

Unique Settings for Memorable Experiences

The stunning landscapes of Los Cabos, from the Puerto Los Cabos Sculpture Garden to Plaza Mijares, become settings for unique screenings. These spaces not only enhance the natural beauty of Baja California Sur, but also transform each screening into a multisensory experience.

Closing with a Golden Clasp

The festival will conclude with the presentation of "Maria," a tribute to one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century. This closing promises to be as impactful as the rest of the event, leaving the audience with reflections on art, music, and humanity.

The 2024 Los Cabos International Film Festival not only celebrates the art of cinema, but also reaffirms its commitment to cultural diversity and narrative innovation. In this edition, Los Cabos will not only be a dream tourist destination, but also a beacon for global cinematic creativity.
