Hola México Film Festival returns to Los Angeles on September 20 - 27, for its 16th edition, bringing together over 10,000 cinephiles to watch over 20 Mexican films.
As it celebrates its anniversary, the festival continues pushing the boundaries of Mexican cinema by presenting new filmmakers, and recognizing actors who are exploring new creative territories. This year, the festival also marks a significant return to the horror genre while ensuring a diverse selection of films, including dramas, comedies, documentaries and more.
Founded in 2008, the Hola Mexico Film Festival strives to highlight the best and brightest talents in Mexican cinematography. The festival also does a great job of showcasing high-quality films in a festive atmosphere in conjunction with exclusive parties and outdoor concerts.
On opening night, a film screening will be presented in partnership with the American Cinematheque at The Egyptian Theater and the rest of the screenings will be held at Regal Cinemas LA LIVE, 1000 W Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90015.
The festival will then conclude on September 27, 2024, with a closing night screening and a concert at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in Downtown L.A., followed by an award ceremony recognizing the audience’s choice for best film and best short film.
Although opening night film hasn’t been announced, individuals can purchase festival passes for the Hola Mexico Film Festival presented by the “2025 Toyota Camry” here.
“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,” said Samuel Douek, the founder and director of HMFF.
