Netflix is constantly growing in Latin America, and while in Mexico the catalog is still nowhere as big as the North American one, several hotly anticipated TV series, such as Better Call Saul and House of Cards, are greatly helping in order to have more Mexican users.
Now Netflix has launched a contest to support Mexican independent cinema, offering a one-year contract to two films to be available on the platform internationally. There are 10 Mexican films competing to become one of the two lucky ones that will be part of Netflix for a full year, reaching audiences that otherwise they wouldn't.
The ten films are the following:
- 12 Segundos by Nenneth Müller
- Año Bisiesto by Michael Rowe
- Diente por Diente by Miguel Bonilla
- El Mar Muerto by Ignacio Ortiz Cruz
- Inercia by Isabel Muñoz Cota Callejas
- Ocean Blues by Salomón Askenazi
- Post Tenebras Lux by Carlos Reygadas
- Río de Oro by Pablo Aldrete
- Sobre Ella by Mauricio T. Valle
- Todo el Mundo Tiene a Alguien Menos Yo by Raúl Fuentes
A jury will choose one winner, but the other will be the audience's favorite. The public can vote via Twitter and Facebook for their favorite film. For more information, visit the contest's official site.
