A great film festival! I was delighted that my short animated film 'Clowning Around' was selected for screening here!

We're very thankful for this amazing experience. This is a very unique festival and we were treated really wonderfully by the organizers. The town itself is lovely. Thank you Taxco Film Fest!

Tuve una experiencia muy decepcionante con la organización del festival. A pesar de que se me notificó que había sido seleccionado, en ningún momento se me solicitó material ni se me entregó el laurel correspondiente. Mis correos y mensajes en redes sociales fueron ignorados durante semanas, hasta que decidí comunicarme directamente por teléfono. Ahí me confirmaron que efectivamente estaba seleccionado y, sin mayor explicación, me solicitaron los materiales apenas unos días antes de la proyección. Nunca se me confirmó la recepción de estos, ni hubo seguimiento. Tampoco recibí respuesta alguna respecto al laurel ni a la carta de selección, a pesar de insistir. Sé que no todos tuvieron la misma experiencia, pero en lo personal, me quedo con un sentimiento de desilusión por el trato recibido por parte del festival.
