DOCUMENTARY FILM SERIES PREMIERES IN SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, MEXICO

REEL DOCS: A Documentary Film Series, dedicated to offering a thought provoking, entertaining lineup of international documentary films, industry lectures and opportunities to talk with filmmakers about their films, has launched for the community of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Caren Cross, documentary filmmaker of Lost and Found in Mexico and Co-Director of REEL DOCS, and Jennifer Posner created this film series as a passion for film. “We would like to bring in filmmakers who’s films may not have had visibility in larger festivals or significant distribution channels to showcase their films to the intriguing community here in San Miguel,” said Cross. “This series will offer San Miguel residents and visitors alike the opportunity to explore diverse documentary films that they may have not had the opportunity to view, while helping to sustain one of our local treasures, La Biblioteca.”

International documentary films will be featured with their filmmakers at La Biblioteca Pública, one of the largest bilingual libraries in Mexico, in an intimate 82-seat theatre. REEL DOCS is a non-profit endeavor. All proceeds will be donated to La Biblioteca Pública de San Miguel de Allende to benefit local scholarships for Mexican children.

Filmmakers are invited to submit materials year-round to be considered for an upcoming series.
