The Riviera Maya Underground Film Festival (RMUFF) was presented to society in a press conference attended by local and national journalist, as well as many cinema lovers.
The selection committee has had to choose from over 250 shorts, coming from countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Japan, Italy, Sweden and from many of the Mexican States.
The Festival, on top of showing many short films as part of its official programme, will also organize a series of workshops and open tables where cinema-related topics will be discuss. Renown directors, screen writers and actors will join these workshops and discussions.
This 3rd Edition of the RMUFF also aims to link cinema and culture with ecology and conservation.
