The 24th FICM kicked off on Friday, October 16, 2026, under a polite Michoac\u00e1n drizzle that refused to ruin anyone\u2019s mascara. Fans packed the historic center of Morelia to watch celebrities arrive like royalty who had forgotten their umbrellas but remembered their smiles. Marco Antonio Sol\u00eds, known as El Buki, received a roar so loud it briefly challenged the rain for volume, while Diego Boneta and content creator Javier Ibarreche triggered the kind of screams usually reserved for lottery winners.<\/p>\n
Jon\u00e1s Cuar\u00f3n\u2019s *Campe\u00f3n Gabacho* opened the festival, telling the story of Liborio, played by Juan Daniel Garc\u00eda Trevi\u00f1o. The young migrant heads toward New York, dodging cultural landmines, romantic detours and fistfights that would make a boxing gym jealous. Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n, Nicol\u00e1s Celis and Pimienta Films produced the film, which already won the audience award at SXSW 2026. The plot turns border crossing into an absurd obstacle course where love and punches arrive in equal measure.<\/p>\n
Expected guests include Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n and Gael Garc\u00eda Bernal. Screenings run through October 25 both in person and on nuestrocine.mx, featuring the official Mexican feature competition. The drizzle eventually surrendered, leaving the red carpet glistening like a freshly polished absurdity. Ten days of cinema now unfold across Morelia\u2019s stone streets, proving that even stubborn rain cannot outshine a determined crowd or a story willing to fight its way forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
