Needless to say, this quality of food is a real benefit for those of us who live here and can enjoy any time.
During the month of October, Playa del Carmen residents also had the opportunity to enjoy special film attractions. While Playa offers two major movie theaters which show a broad range of the newest American movies, in English, as well as several nearby in Cancun, there are also several film festivals which take place in the area showing international and Mexican films, independent and main stream, in English as well as other languages, with subtitles.
One film festival which took place in October was the fourth annual Riviera Maya Underground Film Festival (RMUFF) which has helped to establish Playa as a benchmark for innovation and cinema culture for filmmakers and fans in Mexico and other countries. This festival joined with two others which took place in this area throughout the year: the Cancun-Riviera Maya International Film Festival Cancun-Riviera Maya and Malayerba Shorts Rally.

The event concluded with a live sound performance with the silent film "The Man with the movie camera", produced in 1929 by Russian director Dziga Vertov. Composer Alexander Ataola was accompanied by the "Ensamble Camara Acci�n," a group which performed music specially produced for Vertov's work, and comprised of musicians with established reputations, such as Chema Arreola on drums, Carlos Maldonado on bass, Daniel Zlotnik, on saxophone and Adrian Terrazas, also in the saxophone and the flute players and Luca Maria Emilia Martinez Ortega, who have been involved with various bands like The Mars
The sound of the film was presented earlier this year in the "Soundtrack Band Cycle", organized by the National Cineteca "Interferencia 7DIEZ" station of the "Instituto Mexicano de la Radio." At the close of the Festival on Sunday 18 October, moviegoers and music lovers in Playa had the opportunity to enjoy an event of the highest quality, never before presented here. The end of the festival also included awards for the best cuts of the 216 films. The Festival's organizers plan to include even more films and shorts in next year's event.
