Jump on for the journey, as Hola Mexico travels to Perth from 15-21 November at Cinema Paradiso.
Highlights of the 2012 program include the Australian premiere of Una Vida Mejor (A Better Life), from About a Boy director, Chris Weitz. Lead actor Demian Bichir was nominated for Best Actor at the 2012 Oscars alongside Brad Pit, George Cloney, Juan De'Jardin and Gary Oldman. The story takes you on the heart rendering journey of an illegal immigrant who struggles with the challenges of living in a city with immigration agents on every corner and vicious gangsters trying to lure his son away in to a life of crime.
For the action fans a new epic from Hollywood stars Andy Garcia and Eva Longoria, Cristiada (From Greater Glory) examines just what price we are willing to pay for freedom, as it looks in to the true story of the 1920s Cristero War and the people’s revolt that rocked 20th century North America.
Foodies and families will love Canela (cinnamon) as it takes a look in to the dramatic life of cooking and restaurateurs that puts the reality drama of cooking shows to shame.
The Hola Mexico Film Festival combines the fiery passion of the Mexican culture with the beauty of its people to explore all that is Mexico, bringing Mexicans together and everyone else that bit closer to Mexico through the beauty of film.
