DocuLab Guadalajara II

A country, a region with no documentary films is like a family without a photo album Patricio Guzman- Jorge Ruffinelli

Ibero American audiovisual creators that focus on documentaries have characterized themselves for portraying strong and rich stories while seeking a constant rediscovery of the narrative and the cinematographic language. The Guadalajara International Film Festival provides a prominent space dedicated to the formation and practice of the documentary genre in order to serve the need of Ibero American creators that seek to tell and capture the diversity of cultures and socio-political restlessness of the region.
