The Fourth Annual Riviera Maya Film Festival
The Cancun and Riviera Maya Film Festival is takes place every November, and is shared with Cancun and Mexico City. It is the only film festival with an official competition and a permanent exhibition of movies about "Ecology and Human Development." While this appeals especially to those who are concerned with pollution and related topics, there are many other categories and film types included. The festival has currently been in existence for three years. During the four day festival cultural and environmental activities also take place. In 2009 Japan was the guest country and had the honor of movies by the filmmaker Takeshi Kitano. By June, the 2010 program will be ready, which will include "Experimental Mexico Cancun Lounge."
Another film festival is the "Underground Film Festival," which will hold its fifth annual celebration in October, with four days of festival. At this festival, different cinematic styles are welcomed and encouraged, with competitions in the categories of Animation, Experimental, Documentary, Fiction or Silent Movies, which each bring together hundreds of filmmakers.
Besides the exhibition of short films during the festival, there are film workshops, samples of films, lectures and musical recitals, as was the case last year, the recital of Alex Otaola soundtrack to the silent film "Man With The Movie Camera" by director Dziga Vertov. All programming will be presented in August. The projections are organized in Playa del Carmen and at night there are jazz, rock concerts.
