Premio Maguey of the LGBTQ+ theme Guadalajara Film Festival adds series

Now 14^Th Edition, Guadalajara Film Festival (FICG) Premio Maguey sidebar celebrates LGBTQ+ Cinema and adds series and animation capabilities for the first time.

"If we talk about inclusion, then we have to practice it ourselves, right? So it's also about creating space for all kinds of content - stories and perspectives enriching our plans in meaningful ways."

Six core films from other competitive sectors are also joining with other competitive sectors, such as Toon "Lesbian Space Princess", which also competes in the animation sidebar.

Cortés said the series debuted with "Paper Love", "The The The The Field", and filmed in Jalisco, Gabriel Ripstein's crime drama "Lies" will be celebrated with grand tribute.

"Amor de Papel" directed by Edu Cortés opens Christian, a man immersed in his books and fantasies, whose life is turned upside down when he meets new clients.

Francisco Gonzalez's "La Engañada" revolves around Estela, who gave up their careers to build a family. But a mysterious package arrived to greatly change her life.

In "Mentiras," four women gather at the funeral of a murdered man, only to find him romantically involved with them, making them all suspects.

Mexico fought for the Premio Maguey Award, which included Best Performance, Special Jury Awards and Best Film, which included two outstanding projects: "Sobre Las Olas" and "Newborn" ("Un Mundo Para Mi"), which also competed for Premio Mezcal, a feature that competed for the Mexicans in a section.

The latter is written and directed by Alejandro Zuno, following first-time parents, whose children are born, facing ignorance, prejudice and even uninformed doctors.

"Sobre Las Olas" is set on a fictional island where mother Gloria Zamora, who works there, reveals her true self, as money and power have changed her.

Chile's Daniela Vega made her first fame in Sebastian Lelio's Oscar-winning "A Brilliant Woman" and was recognized by the Premio Maguey Queer Award and will lead the master class.

The festival begins with “Muriólafantasía” (“The Fantasy Died”), and a fascinating documentary that reports an engaging documentary explores the lives of “Galaxies” and pop stars while revealing hidden struggles within the industry, produced by Mexican electric mobilizer Denisse Guerrero and won a lifetime lifetime lifetime achievement award by Mexican electric artist Denisse Guerrero.

Thinking about the importance of the importance of the Guadalajara’s LGBTQ+ theme specifically targeting Guadalajara, Cortez said: “Given the strong university presence in Guadalajara, many people come here to study and learn here, the sense of freedom to do so. Discovering that they do not have their own hometown in their hometown. These experiences often lead to them living here like they do, where they can live more freely.”

"Another key factor is that Guadalajara is a deep cultural city. It hosts major events including international film festivals and book fairs, as well as numerous art and cultural events throughout the year," he said, adding: "All of them act as a barometer, a natural indication and brings a wider, wider community, a more open view to wider openness, a more open view."
