Mexican film festival at institute in Belize City

The Mexican Embassy is also promoting culture and history. It’s holding a literature-based film festival at the Institute of Mexico on New Town Barracks from the nineteenth to the twenty-second of October and will feature four different films on romance, superstitions and culture. The festival is a part of the embassy’s cultural educational program 2009 and the general public is invited. According to Cultural and Educational Representative for the Mexican Embassy, Katia Montenegro-Hoare, the festival joins the embassy’s regular Wednesday movie nights and also is free of cost.

“It’s a small festival that we’re doing to promote Mexican films. It’s a way of giving people another alternative of doing other things. It is part of our cultural education program for 2009 and we would like to have it every year. We also have the regular Wednesday nights at the movies. We would like to invite everyone to come out and appreciate some of the movies from around the world. It’s from other parts of the world—we have Guatemala, last week we had Spain, this week we are having a film, which is part of the Mexican film festival. It’s a Mexican movie.”

The movies start at seven p.m. Though the films are in Spanish, they will all carry English subtitles.
