This November the inaugural Hola AUNZ Film Festival will be held in Mexico City and we’re super excited!
Running from November 28th to December 6th the festival will present 19 contemporary films from Australia and New Zealand and will also host a number of other events for both industry members and the public. Films are a combination of features and documentaries and will be screened in four different venues: Cineteca Nacional, Cinépolis Universidad, Cine Tonalá and Casa del Cine.
Mexican cinema has been showcased in several Australian cities through the annual Hola Mexico Film Festival, now in it’s eighth year. Now for the first time, Mexican audiences will have an opportunity to connect with a range of films from Australia and New Zealand. There will be also opportunities to meet filmmakers Michael Rowe, Polly Watkins and Francesca Fisher.
