Overview
I could not verify a film festival in Mexico specifically called the Roadside Film Festival from the provided sources. The closest match is the Route 66 Film Festival, which screens films from many countries, welcomes all lengths and genres, and is noted for diverse storytelling and audience voting; if you meant a different Mexican festival, please provide the exact name.
