Ambulante Travelling Documentary Film Festival

Each year, the AMBULANTE Organization, in collaboration with Canana, Cinépolis and the Morelia International Film Festival, organizes a travelling documentary film festival that tours to 12 cities in Mexico with a selection of over 50 documentaries shown in over 140 venues. It creates a space to exhibit ground-breaking documentaries, both current and classic, that we consider socially or cinematically relevant. Travelling with these works, sharing them in different cities, towns and communities, provides the essential ingredient for exchange, fostering a critical vision and generating a collective conscience around how we perceive and understand our realites. AMBULANTE is one of the film festivals with the largest scope in Mexico and an important platform for the exhibition of Mexican documentaries.

A diverse program which traverses more than 100 venues throughout 12 states: Spring 2012.
