GABRIEL FIGUEROA FILM FUND
Created in 2012 as a tribute to one of the most relevant Mexican cinematographers, the Gabriel Figueroa Film Fund aims to promote and support film talent and the production of innovative films that offer a fresh glance and new ways to tell stories.
Thanks to the collaboration of various allied companies, and through designing a space and activities according to the needs of the selected projects, the Gabriel Figueroa Film Fund offers an opportunity for filmmakers and producers to access domestic and international strategic partners while giving them a series of specific supports for the various stages involved in a film project.
