Reminder: Hola Mexico Film Festival, April 29 – June 6, 2010
Since 2006, the Hola Mexico Film Festival, a traveling showcase of new and classic Mexican features and documentaries, has presented what Festival Director Samuel Douek calls, “The best Mexican cinema has to offer.” The program made its United States debut last year, unspooling in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. This year, Douek expands his festival to three additional American cities: Miami, San Francisco, and Washington DC.
