Oaxaca's International Film Festival--3rd edition--starts tomorrow! It's scheduled for November 8-17, 2012. This is a great event, one where you can view new independent films from hilarious or edgy short subjects to full length feature films, and get to meet and speak to many of directors, producers, writers and actors. You can read all about it at the hyperlink above. They have the full ten-day schedule posted online. The festival's founder, Ramiz Azar tells us they'll be screening 156 films from 50 countries, including 30 feature films and more than a hundred documentaries and short subjects. All non-English-language films will be subtitled in English. You can buy tickets and dive in at the festival's center, in the Plaza de San Jeronimo on the pedestrianized Alcala. The center will be staffed every day of the festival from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
