The Chapala government has announced that the municipality will be a host venue for the Festival Internacional de Cine Espiritual (FICES 2026), scheduled from April 30 to May 13.
The program is an initiative promoted by the Episcopal Commission for Pastoral Communication that aims to position cinema as a platform for reflection, dialogue and social interaction. According to Father Juan Javier Padilla Cervantes, the organizing committee’s executive secretary, the festival will run simultaneously in various dioceses across the country.
At lakeside, activities will be concentrated at venues such as Cinemas del Lago, Plaza Bugambilias in Ajijic, and Chapala’s Centro Cultural Antigua Presidencia, the former town hall on Avenida Madero, where audiences can view a selection of movies focused on human, spiritual, and social themes.
