Abstract
Abstract On the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the Morelia International Film Festival (FICM), Studies in Spanish and Latin American Cinemas looks at the dynamics that shape one of the region’s principal film festivals. This dossier profiles some of the key alliances that have contributed towards its longevity and success; the overview of the festival’s history is followed by an interview with its founding director, Daniela Michel, and concludes with external views by two influential film historians: Eduardo de la Vega Alfaro and Josetxo Cerdán. Each has participated in festival juries and related activities and, jointly, they reflect national and international perspectives on the significance of the Morelia Festival. In profiling FICM our objective is to understand the place and influence of Latin American film festivals more generally as gatekeepers but also catalysts for the production, distribution and reception of local productions in regional and global markets.
