From Luchadores to Opera Singers: 10 Must-See Movies at the Hola Mexico Film Festival

The largest festival of Mexican cinema outside of our southern neighboring country is gearing up for its eighth year. After beginning in Sydney, Australia and after a brief stint in other cities, the Hola Mexico Film Festival will be taking over downtown Los Angeles yet again for what promises to be its best year yet.

For those Angelenos who were envious of the Remezcla peeps who got to see Diego Luna’s Mr. Pig film at Sundance this past January, Hola Mexico has you covered. The Danny Glover/Maya Rudolph father-daughter film will be one of 21 films playing at the festival. And for those hoping to find some child-friendly fare, the fest also has you covered, with two films playing in the “Hola Niños” program, giving you a chance to make this a family affair.

So whether you’re looking to see what Jane the Virgin’s Rogelio (aka Jaime Camil) can do outside of everyone’s favorite CW telenovela, who’s behind the masks of your favorite Mexican luchadores, or what Zoé gets up to when they’re on tour, we’ve singled out the 10 titles you shouldn’t miss.

The Hola Mexico Film Festival runs May 13-22, 2016 in Los Angeles. Buy your tickets here.
