Mexican Cinema and Debates on the Digital Age Take Center Stage on the Second Day of the Los Cabos Film Festival
The second day of the 2024 Los Cabos International Film Festival was full of memorable moments, from debates on the digital impact on the film industry to high-quality national premieres that highlighted Mexican talent.
Panel: “From the movie theater to your pocket”
At Cinemex Puerto Paraíso, experts such as Arturo Aguilar, Christine Dávila, Miguel Araiza and Ricardo Pacheco, under the moderation of Ileana Rodríguez, analyzed how digital platforms and social networks are revolutionizing the way audiences consume cinema. Among the topics discussed were content personalization, digital strategies and interactivity, with an emphasis on the creation of accessible and inclusive experiences that transcend the screen.
Mexican Cinema on the International Stage
National cinema shined with the presentation of two outstanding films:
Sujo, selected to represent Mexico at the 2025 Oscars, tells the story of a child's struggle to escape the cycle of family violence in a rural setting in Michoacán. The film, hailed as “the best Mexican film of 2024,” combines an emotional and raw narrative with a powerful visual aesthetic.
El Jokey, part of the Encuadres Mexicanos Sin Fronteras category, also stood out for its thematic originality and style.
The Drama and Comedy of Corina
The film Corina, directed by Urzula Barba and starring Naian González Norvind, captivated the public with its mix of drama and comedy. The story follows a young agoraphobic woman from Guadalajara who, when faced with a work error, discovers new perspectives on life. Winner of the press award at the Guanajuato International Film Festival, Corina reaffirms the ability of Mexican cinema to address complex human realities with sensitivity and humor.
