Mexico is holding its first French film festival in honour of Spanish born director Luis Bu�uel - who did most of his work in France.
French actress Catherine Deneuve and Mexican film legend Maria Felix are guests of honour throughout the festival.
The festival is aimed at strengthening cooperation between both countries for future joint film productions.
Mexico's first French Film Festival has kicked off with the participation of French actress Catherine Deneuve and Mexican film legend Maria Felix.
The festival is in honour of the great Spanish director Luis Bu�uel.
The event was organised by Unifrance Film International and the Mexican Film Institute.
Catherine Deneuve starred in Bu�uel's film "Beautiful by Day" and other movies shown at the festival's inauguration Wednesday night.
The festival will feature Deneuve's latest film "The Thieves" by French director Andre Tachine.
For Deneuve the film is a "super-production" which she hopes will be a major hit at home and abroad.
SOUNDBITE: (French with subsequent Spanish translation)
I don't really know what to tell you about "The Thieves." It is a movie I like very much. It is something that rarely happens. It is a movie that features many actors.
SUPER CAPTION: Catherine Deneuve, French Actress
Deneuve took the opportunity to praise French cinema for having a successful year.
SOUNDBITE: (French with subsequent Spanish translation)
I think this year- and this is not a lie - French cinema has had great success which is very uplifting for the distributors, producers and directors.
SUPER CAPTION: Catherine Deneuve, French Actress
The film festival is aimed at strengthening cooperation ties between both countries.
Film makers hope to co-produce and co-direct in the future.
