This year the festival will take place from the 23<sup>rd<\/sup> to the 29<sup>th<\/sup> of April throughout the Riviera Maya. Amongst the different venues are Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Cancun and Puerto Morelos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Riviera Maya Film Festival isn\u2019t only popular because of the great variety of movies they show, but because it has free access for everyone \u2013 even the opening and closing ceremonies! It is also a highly popular event due to its open venues and beach screenings. Who doesn\u2019t love spending a weekday evening out on the beach watching a movie, eating popcorn and enjoying the atmosphere?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i255.photobucket.com\/albums\/hh138\/beatlo\/RMFF%20Beach_zps2gaqy5m2.png\" alt=\" photo RMFF Beach_zps2gaqy5m2.png\" width=\"416\" height=\"259\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The festival is born as a means to broadcast quality film amongst the locals and visitors of the Riviera Maya. As a highly touristy destination, and lacking on the cultural aspect, the population of Quintana Roo welcomes the film festival with open arms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As they state in their website, the festival is becoming a trending parameter thanks to its vast selection of international film, and the boost it is giving Mexican cinematography with great prices; amongst the awards, is the $300,000 mxn Kukulkan Award (approximately 20,000 USD) which is intended to be used for distribution expenses, allowing independent films to reach the audiences they want.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other awards include the Youth Jury Kukulkan Award, which grants $100,000 mxn (over 6,000 USD); the Rivieralab\/Work in Progress Award that grants $200,000 mxn (13,000 USD) which is intended to help producers and directors complete their films; and the Rivieralab\/Coproduction Forum Award, granting also $200,000 mxn to support projects through pre-production.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The team behind the Riviera Maya Film Festival is a dedicated, film buff team directed by Paula Chaurand and a team of hundreds of volunteers working day and night in order to pull off the great event that locals and tourists love so much!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Riviera Maya Film Festival gives people the opportunity to watch films that they would be unable to find in movie theaters or any other commercial film venue.
