Mexico City's Cineteca Nacional is home of the annual Muestra Internacional de Cine (International Showing of Cinema), a selection with some of the most important films of the year. The Muestra is arguably the most anticipated film celebration in Mexico's capital city; it's a tradition that remains important since we don't have a festival as big as Morelia or Guanajuato.
The 55th edition of the Muestra kicks off on Friday, November 8, and you can already check out the complete lineup. This year's selection is one of the best I can recall, offering the latest work of Nicolas Winding Refn, Abdellatif Kechiche, Kore-eda Hirokazu, Woody Allen, Claire Denis, and much more!
