Cine Las Americas is proud to present a special showcase in partnership with Ambulante for the fifth consecutive year. The documentary films in this series tackle issues that resonate not only in Mexico, but also internationally. The films selected reflect both organizations’ missions, in particular, support of documentary filmmaking as a means to promote discourse around important contemporary issues.
Ambulante Org. is a non-profit organization, founded in 2005 by Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna, and Elena Fortes. It is committed to supporting and promoting documentary film as a tool for cultural and social transformation. Ambulante brings documentaries and training programs to places where they are rarely available in order to foster cultural exchange, encourage a participative, informed, and critical attitude in their audience, and open new channels of expression in Mexico and abroad. Each year, Ambulante organizes an international film festival, which tours Mexico for two months with a lineup including over 100 titles from 30 countries. Currently, Ambulante is the widest-reaching documentary film festival in Mexico, and a unique exhibition space in the world. This is a non-competitive festival that offers about 50% of its programming for free.
