This landmark event made us witness of the birth of a new medium of artistic expression. Since then, cinema’s significance and popularity have grown to such degree that today the communications and the culture of contemporary life would be impossible to understand without it. For over 50 years, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) has banked on cinema and its enormous versatility. Since then, we have been deeply engaged with cinema as an artistic expression and an outreach tool; that is, as a cultural phenomenon in itself. The University has firmly pioneered cinema’s promotion while including it fully in its substantive tasks. Throughout these decades, our institution · has undertaken many fine efforts to support the Festival has the Seventh Art not only as a form of established itself entertainment, but as a subject of academic through filmic inquiry. In the seven years of existence of high-quality the UNAM International Film Festival this has ~ had a tangible and permanent impact on our community and on the city as a whole. FICUNAM offer is in line with the vertiginous times we live; films pre- sented in the Festival are not only enjoyable to their viewers, they also increase the audience’s points of view in terms of interpreta- tion, study, and learning. This is why the Festival has established 8 itself through filmic high-quality and it is one of the few existing win- dows through which we can see—as well as feel and experience— a cinematic style not easily found or promoted elsewhere. Seven years is not a lot; however, this span of time has been enough for FICUNAM to consolidate its stance, its path, in the face of domestic and international filmic creation. Dr. Enrique Graue Wiechers UNAM’s Dean Hace 120 años se vio en la Ciudad de México la primera proyección de un cinematógrafo. Este hito nos hizo testigos del nacimiento de un nuevo medio de expresión artística. A partir de entonces el cine creció en importancia y popularidad, tanto que hoy la comunicación y la cultura de la vida contemporánea serían imposibles de entender sin él. Hace más de cincuenta años que la UNAM · apostó por el cine y su versatilidad. Nos el festival ha comprometimos con una forma de expresión conformado artística y con un instrumento de divulgación, ya una tradición de es decir, un hecho cultural en sí mismo. La alta calidad Universidad fue una decidida pionera en cinematográfica promover el cine y convertirlo en una actividad ~ integrada a sus tareas sustantivas. Son muchos y nobles los esfuerzos de nuestra institución por auspiciar el séptimo arte a lo largo de estas décadas, no solo como entretenimiento sino como materia de reflexión académica. El impacto de ello en la comunidad y en la ciudad es palpable y permanente, en los siete años que cumple el Festival Internacional de Cine UNAM. El FICUNAM ofrece propuestas acordes al vértigo de nuestro tiempo: un cine que además de ser disfrutable tiende a multiplicar en cualquier espectador los ángulos de interpretación, estudio y aprendizaje. En ese sentido, el festival ha conformado ya una tradición de alta calidad cinematográfica manteniéndose como una de las pocas ventanas a través de las cuales se puede mirar y sentir, experimentar un tipo de cine que no encuentra fácil cabida ni difusión. Siete años no son muchos, pero sí suficientes para afianzar una postura —derrotero delFICUNAM — ante el quehacer cinematográfico del país y del mundo. Dr. Enrique Graue Wiechers Rector UNAM 9 FICUNAM is now turning seven years old. And, as in all of its previous editions the Festival is not only devoted to exploring new tendencies in contemporary cinema but also to critique and reflection on them. The multiple institutional efforts this Festival entails follow the precept and steady conviction that the study of cinema is just as significant as the enjoyment and entertainment it brings. 31 years ago, the UNAM Cultural Outreach Department [Coordinación de Difusión Cultural] · was founded as the inheritor of 70 years of FICUNAM is a university work promoting culture and the arts. contributor to expanding The main function of this area within UNAM is not filmic communities and only to promote university creative expression— transcending the in all of its genres—but also to weave together mere love of cinema the enormously substantial universe of academic ~ work and research produced both within all the university departments and in collaboration with other domestic and international cultural organizations. It is within this context that the UNAM International Film Festival was born in 2011. And thus, this young Festival has amassed experience and awareness through a programming which reaffirms the Festival’s quality and the overwhelming filmic knowledge of those who work together to make the Festival possible. FICUNAM is a contributor to expanding filmic communities and transcending the mere love of cinema towards the creation of the 10 necessary conditions—in terms of filmic promotion and analysis—to broaden the enjoyment and learning derived from contemporary film culture while allowing for it to reach increasingly active, creative, and demanding audiences committed to imagining and reinventing a better Mexico. Dr. Jorge Volpi Cultural Outreach Department UNAM FICUNAM cumple siete años, y como en cada edición, no solo está dedicado a la exploración de las nuevas tendencias del cine contemporáneo, sino también a su crítica y reflexión. Bajo estos preceptos, dentro del múltiple esfuerzo institucional que implica pervive una sintonía con la firme convicción de que el gozo y · el entretenimiento del cine, en todas sus El FICUNAM contribuye dimensiones, es tan importante como su estudio. a expandir las comunidades cinematográficas y La Coordinación de Difusión Cultural, surgida trascender a la hace 31 años, heredó una labor universitaria de cinefilia setenta años de impulso al arte y la cultura. La ~ función sustantiva de esta área de la UNAM no se limita a difundir únicamente las expresiones universitarias en cualquier género, pugna también por entrelazar la enorme constelación académica y de investigación que componen todas las dependencias universitarias, en colaboración con otras instancias del quehacer cultural del país y del mundo. Es en este contexto que en 2011 nace el Festival Internacional de Cine UNAM; por ello un festival tan joven ha podido acumular experiencia y rigurosidad, ya que a través de su programación reafirma la calidad de su hechura y el contundente conocimiento del ámbito cinematográfico de quienes coadyuvan a su realización. El FICUNAM contribuye a expandir las comunidades cinematográfi- cas y trascender a la cinefilia brindando condiciones de promoción y análisis que posibiliten el amplio goce y aprendizaje de la cultura cinematográfica contemporánea por parte de públicos creciente- mente activos, creativos y exigentes, comprometidos para imaginar y reinventar un mejor país. 11 Dr. Jorge Volpi Coordinador de Difusión Cultural UNAM · Always at the forefront of the avant-garde trends, FICUNAM offers new filmic narratives from far-away territories and broadens Seven years after its inception, the UNAM Interna- our vision tional Film Festival reaffirms and consolidates its ~ avant-garde and innovative spirit by showing the newest in domestic and international auteur-cine- ma trends. There will be retrospectives showing the work of hugely valuable filmmakers who are nonetheless little known within our borders; and in its three competing sec- tions—International, Mexican, and Feats. International Schools Meeting—we will be of- fered a panoramic view on new filmmakers in search for a filmic language of their own. Our filmic knowledge will also be broadened with the opportunitiesFICUNAM offers— in association with other institutions—in terms of filmic analysis and criticism through forums and contests, as well as masterclasses and workshops. And to show the work related to the preservation of film archives, this edition offers us a program made of 16-mm documentaries which are part of the collection of Filmoteca UNAM. This selection is a sample of the way this format was appropriated in our country by filmmakers who, in the 1970s and the 1980s, focused on making visible Mexico’s social problems. Always at the forefront of the avant-garde trends, FICUNAM offers new filmic narratives from far-away University of Mexico and, as such, the impulse territories and broadens our vision by providing a behind this unforgettable experience is sharing space for expression, reflection, and knowledge its commitment towards the University community related to the auteur cinema made in Mexico and the broader community of film lovers.
