It is with great pleasure that for the Opening Film of the Festival we present one of the most highly acclaimed Mexican films of the last year, I promise you anarchy. Directed by Julio Hernández Cordón, one of the maestros of contemporary Latin American cinema, the film has travelled the world screening in some of the most important film festivals, garnering awards and reaping astonishing reviews for a mise-en-scène as giddy and reckless, harsh and tender as only current-day Mexico could produce.
