About the feature: MIDNIGHT FAMILY
In Mexico City’s wealthiest neighborhoods, the Ochoa family runs a private ambulance, competing with other for-profit EMTs for patients in need of urgent help. As the Ochoas try to make a living in this cutthroat industry, they struggle to keep their financial needs from compromising the people in their care. MIDNIGHT FAMILY is the winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 22nd Cine Las Americas International Film Festival.

Jonathas has been adopted, but it doesn’t take long until he is returned because he is “different” from the other kids. Inspired by true events. O ÓRFÃO is the winner of the Jury Award for Best Narrative Short at the 22nd Cine Las Americas International Film Festival.
CineNoche is a film series presented in partnership with Violet Crown Cinema.
