Hola Mexico Film Festival 2015 hosted a big party in Los Angeles a few days ago, leaving us with a great impression. The audience, the press, the sponsors, and the talent were excited about the cinematic celebration.
All the shows started on time, and most of the directors attended the Q&As. The red carpets looked fantastic, and the after-parties were enjoyable.
Hola Mexico showcased 22 quality films from South of the Border in nine days, with a record attendance of 25,000 moviegoers. Some movies, such as “Gloria,” “La Dictadura Perfecta/The Perfect Dictatorship,” and “El Americano,” are completely sold out.

Samuel Douek, founder and programmer of Hola, did a great job generating enough buzz to make the Mexican cinematic festival one of the top film festivals in Los Angeles.
Hola Mexico is expected to continue growing with more films, fans, events, and sponsors. The Mexican festival will keep enriching itself by providing subtitles for all English films. Before the festival, press screenings could help spread the word to audiences and US distributors, increasing the chances for Mexican films to reach theaters in the US sooner.

Many films presented in Hola won awards at festivals around the world, including “Club Sandwich,” “Las horas contigo,” “México Bárbaro,” “La dictadura perfecta,” and others.
With mariachi, tequila, concerts, and special events, the 2015 edition of Hola Mexico has been the best.
The top ten Mexican films in Hola Mexico 2015 were:
1.
