Mexican Short Films Program Co-curated by FICM at the New York International Children's Film Festival
The Morelia International Film Festival (FICM) will present a selection of Mexican short films at the New York International Children's Film Festival 2018, as part of the Friends & Neighbors: Mexico program.
This program brings together a series of short films that innovatively highlight Latin American culture and demonstrate that art has no borders.
Tintico's Afternoons, by Alejandro García Caballero. FICM 2012, Best Animation Short Film.
New York International Children's Film Festival was founded in 1997 to support the creation and dissemination of thoughtful, provocative, and intelligent film for children and teens ages 3-18.
The festival will be held from February 23 to March 18. The Friends & Neighbors: Mexico program will be screened on Saturdays, March 3 and 18.

Felix causes a miracle when it comes to life and shows you how to access other universes; share with him those secret places that the child will recognize that your world can be longer and deeper than previously thought and that a blind child, like Felix, is much more than his visual impairment.
