Cinelatino and DishLATINO Announce the Hola Mexico Film Festival's 2020 Award Winners
EntSun News/10840599
LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- Cinelatino, the nation's leading Spanish-language movie channel, is proud to announce the 2020 winners of Hola Mexico Film Festival's (HMFF) prestigious Cinelatino & DishLATINO Audience Choice award and the Cinelatino & DishLATINO Tomorrow's Filmmakers Today Best Short award.
Normally held in Los Angeles, HMFF is the largest festival of Mexican cinema outside of Mexico. HMFF has become a staple in the City of Angels, attracting cinephiles and devotees of Mexican filmmakers from all over the country. This year, the event was reenvisioned as a virtual festival experience via Spanish-language premium streaming service PANTAYA in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns about participant and attendee health and safety.
As part of the virtual festival experience, viewers had the opportunity to watch the best in recent Mexican cinema and vote for their favorite films online. Juliana Fanjul recipient of the most audience votes for her film Silencio Radio 'Radio Silence,' won the Cinelatino & DishLATINO Audience Choice Award.
Silencio Radio 'Radio Silence' tells the story of renowned Mexican journalist Carmen Aristegui after she is fired from her post at a radio station for revealing an important case of corruption. Far from being intimidated, she becomes even more invested in her struggle to collect and transmit truthful information. The powers that be are not on her side, but her research team and a network of more than 18 million listeners are missing her arbitrarily muted voice. From a close, agile and reflective perspective, Juliana Fanjul not only shows the strong and charismatic personality of the influential Aristegui, but the filmmaker also uses her voice to dedicate a painful love letter to a fragmented country afflicted by corruption, drug trafficking and violence.

After receiving the most audience votes in the short film category, Roberto Escamilla took home the Cinelatino & DishLATINO Tomorrow's Filmmakers Today Short award for his entry, Changes. Changes is a coming of age dramedy following the story of Mitchell, a 16-year-old boy who is taken by his friends to a shady motel to have his first sexual encounter. There he will meet Destiny, who will show him new horizons in an unexpected way.
Both award winners will receive cash prizes on behalf of Cinelatino.
"As in previous years, Cinelatino is proud to support the incredibly talented Mexican filmmakers who are pushing Latin cinema to new heights. Mexico is a film production powerhouse; together with our partners at DishLATINO, we are delighted to continue our relationship with HMFF and to take part in an initiative that brings greater recognition to the contributions of Mexican and Latin cinema," said James M. McNamara, Vice Chairman of Hemisphere Media Group, Inc., Cinelatino's parent company.

And a very special thanks to festival Director and Founder, Samuel Douek, for his tireless efforts in supporting the film community and for putting together an incredible, accessible event in spite of logistical challenges."
"We remain committed to promoting Mexican filmmakers and to offering a platform that will raise awareness of and increase exposure to their talent and work," said Samuel Douek, Director of Hola Mexico Film Festival. "Despite the challenges, we knew we had to find a way to forge ahead with the festival and continue highlighting and recognizing the Mexican cinematic tradition. I am beyond thrilled to have found a way to offer the festival experience to an even greater number of fans in the safest possible way. Congratulations to this year's winners and many thanks to Cinelatino and DishLATINO for their steadfast support of our efforts. We will continue innovating and look forward to next year!"
