FICG is the most influential film festival in Latin America, showcasing and celebrating the best of Mexican and Ibero-American cinema.

The Guadalajara International Film Festival (FICG) is a cornerstone cultural event in Mexico and across Latin America, renowned for promoting and distributing Mexican and Ibero-American films. With its strong focus on cinema as industry, entertainment, and art, FICG has established itself as a vital meeting point for producers, distributors, buyers, creators, critics, and students from all over Ibero-America.

The Industry Days 2026 took place from April 18 to 23 and once again confirmed their importance as a key professional hub, hosting more than 2,500 one-to-one meetings between international industry players.

Located in the main lobby of the Conjunto Santander de Artes Escénicas, at the foot of the Cineteca FICG, the Industry area provides a vibrant and accessible space for professional exchange. The festival also featured a wide range of activities such as Guadalajara Construye, the Co-Production Meeting, Doculab, Talent Guadalajara, and Episode 0: Series in Development, complemented by panels, conferences, and masterclasses with leading international filmmakers.
