THE CRITIC’S HALL

Aware of the vitality and current importance of film criticism and the journalistic profession, the Guanajuato International Film Festival (GIFF) in its 25th edition presents The Critic’s Hall, a project organized with the intention of generating a dialogue that contributes in various ways to the development and future of both film criticism and journalism, as well as helping to spread cinephilia in general.

Once again, the festival presents face-to-face activities in which one can talk, learn and reflect on the work of journalists and film critics, in addition to dealing with various topics of interest to film buffs and speaking on this occasion about different aspects related to the 25-year-old existence of the festival.
