Hola México Film Festival returns for its 16th annual edition on September 20 – 27, 2024, during Hispanic Heritage Month with a diverse lineup of exciting films, including comedy, horror, social-political interest, LGBTQ themes, and more.

The festival will feature 20+ films and 20 short films from its filmmaker-focused program Tomorrows Filmmakers Today.

Samuel Douek, the founder and director of HMFF, had this to say about the film festival’s celebration, “In 16 years of showing Mexican cinema to our community, we’ve seen the Mexican film industry grow in huge leaps and bounds, with a maturing level of storytelling that coincides with a large growth in audience numbers whose presence shows a love and respect for our Mexican film heritage. Still, through all that growth the essence of HMFF remains the same: fantastic Mexican cinema in luxurious movie theaters surrounded by strangers who become familiar via our shared love of this great art form, and the celebration of it all!”

Opening the festival is Casi El Paraiso (Almost Paradise) directed by Edgar San Juan and Todas Menos Tú (Anyone But Her) directed by Luis Kuri as Closing Night film.

The festival will also bring back its ‘Special Showcase’ night to highlight three of this year’s film selections – Un Actor Malo (Bad Actor) directed by Jorge Cuchí; Párvulos: Hijos Del Apocalipsis (Toddlers: Children of the Apocalypse) directed by Isaac Ezban; and TransMéxico directed by Claudia Sanchez
