Los Cabos welcomed us from November 13 to 16 to celebrate the second edition of the Festival. That year, the Festival was redefined as an event focused on North American cinema with the aim of achieving a cultural, professional and commercial exchange between the film industries of Mexico, the United States and Canada. In this edition, Los Cabos Competition and Mexico First competitive sections were created within the Official Selection. 2013, was the year where the Gabriel Figueroa Film Fund activities started.
