Hola Mexico Film Festival 2013

Overview

Two young lovers meet on the Mexican-Guatemalan border, where they negotiate their affair amidst white slavery, drug trafficking and the army. Two out-of-work actors are offered a high-paying gig, only to discover that they've been framed by a high-ranking military officer. An overweight wrestler collaborates with zombies in an attempt to fight depression.

Hola! The Mexican Film Festival is coming to Sydney (as well as Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide) for its eighth incarnation. From the 70 films now coming out of Mexico annually, festival director Samuel Douek and his team handpick a special selection, representing the best in comedy, drama, independent filmmaking, documentary and "everything in between".

Opening night will see the festival's renowned fiesta, featuring Mexican food by Los Amates, Sol beer, tequila and live music, and the Australian premiere of comedy blockbuster Nosotros los Nobles (We Are the Nobles). Released earlier this year, it broke box office records, selling 6.8 million tickets and becoming the highest grossing film in Mexican history.

Don't miss the Hola Sol Festival Cantina, bringing in Mexican culture beyond what you see on screen.
