Ajijic tried it a few years ago with mixed success; now the town of Tequila is hoping to draw movie fans by hosting its own International Film Festival from Tuesday, February 8 through Saturday, February 11.
The inauguration ceremony takes place on February 8, 7 p.m. in the main plaza, followed by a free, open-air screening of the thriller “Barrancas,” directed by Mexico’s Juan de la Peña.
Most of the feature films, shorts and documentaries to be shown during the festival will be from Mexico, including several shot in Jalisco.
A series of master classes on cinematographic themes are scheduled at various installations of Casa Cuervo, one of the festival’s main sponsors. The prize giving ceremony will be held at Casa Sauza on February 11, 8:30 p.m.
