When you arrive in Morelia look for the free program booklet at the front desk of your hotel or at any of the festival venues.

The festival films are shown at Cinépolis Morelia Centro, the main festival venue, and its alternative site, Cinépolis las Américas.

The festival programs free screenings at the Casa Natal de Morelos, the Aula Mater of the UMICH, and outdoor showings at the Plaza Benito Juárez.

The festival offers free screenings at the Teatro Emperador Caltzontzin, built in the 1930s in downtown Pátzcuaro which is only 40 minutes away from Morelia.

At designated showings, there will be Q & A sessions with the director, especially related to those films in competition. Further information will be available in the festival program.

Tickets must be purchased for screenings at Cinépolis Morelia Centro and Cinépolis Las Américas.

Mexican movies in competition are shown in Spanish with English subtitles while the majority of the international movies are subtitled in Spanish and in English. Please check the program to see if the movie you want to watch is available in your language.

Tickets

Tickets for screenings at Cinépolis during the festival will cost 35 pesos, much less than the regular price. Season tickets for four showings will be sold for 120 pesos. The cost of tickets at VIP theaters is 70 pesos each or 120 pesos for two.

We recommend arriving 20 minutes before the screenings as maximum occupancy is expected. There are no commercials or trailers before the screenings. Seats cannot be reserved. Tickets can be bought directly at the box office the day of the screening or online: Cineticket.

Look for the movie you want to see, click on "Compra Reserva" and follow the instructions.

Special events

In general, conferences, round tables and exhibitions described in the catalogue are free of charge and don't require a ticket. However, seating is limited, so we suggest getting there early because seats are assigned on a first come, first served basis.
