Biography

About to celebrate twenty-seven years of existence, the Guanajuato International Film Festival (GIFF) is proud to carry the invaluable vision of the thousands of filmmakers who have crossed its screens with works that surpass the borders of the geographical and the conceptual.
Founded in 1998 by Sarah Hoch and Ernesto Herrera, the GIFF has established itself throughout this quarter of a century as a vital training center that contributes to the success of new filmmakers, actors, producers, scriptwriters and technicians in our country. Since then, the vision of the Guanajuato International Film Festival lies in the importance of renewing itself and applying innovative strategies. We are committed to serving new audiences, adopting new technologies and taking into account all the areas involved in the cinematographic universe. Twenty-five years after our first steps, our vigor is intact, although the responsibility is greater. Today more than ever we are focused on creating new experiences and generating actions that foster the maximum potential for film creation.
GIFF includes an official selection in competition and special exhibitions with the most select Mexican and international cinema, conferences, workshops, industry spaces, concerts, tributes, premieres and many more activities to enjoy art and culture together in the privileged spaces that Guanajuato cities offer. With continued effort and a permanent spirit of celebration, this first quarter of a century means an even stronger commitment to continue fulfilling our work and making our audiences ask for
