Throughout its twenty three years of existence, the Guadalajara International Film Festival has grown into a world class event for the showcase of Ibero-American quality films.

As Mexico’s most important film event, it has developed an environment supportive to the dialogue between artists and the public, and has also been a meeting place for filmmakers, actors, cinematographers, distributors, and critics both from Mexico and abroad. By doing this, the Festival has served as a launching pad for the careers of young artists, while at the same time recognizes and honors noteworthy veterans.

The Festival is above all committed to the city of Guadalajara and it’s community. Together with the Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL) – the most outstanding meeting of the Spanish publishing world – the Festival fosters cultural diversity and consolidates Jalisco’s capital as a thriving place for artistic creation and innovation within the Spanish speaking world.
