After a successful inaugural edition in New York last summer, the
Hola Mexico Film Festival has spread nationwide for '09. Having just left L.A. last week, Hola will be running from June 19-24 in Chicago and June 23-28 in New York.
Considered the largest Mexican film festival abroad, the Hola program presents 13 feature films, some of them U.S. premieres, showcasing the rich diversity of contemporary Mexican cinema and includes works by celebrated up-and-coming directors such as
Fernando Eimbcke (
Lake Tahoe, Winner Alfred Bauer Award, Berlin Film Festival 2008) and
Gerardo Naranjo (
I’m Gonna Explode, Official Selection New York Film Festival 2008), along with Mexican blockbusters
Tear this Heart Out by
Roberto Sneider (Mexico’s official selection to the Academy Awards) and the animated film
Another Egg Movie and a Chick by
Rodolfo and Gabriel Rivas Palacio.
