ABOUT MACABRO

Macabro is the first genre film festival in Mexico and the second in Latin America after Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre. It was created as a showcase for contemporary horror cinema, as well as for the rescue and reappraisal of classic and cult films, the promotion of Mexican and Latin American filmmaking in the genre, historical review, and support for emerging talent, with a programming model that has marked a turning point in the exhibition of horror and fantasy cinema in Mexico.

Its home has been Mexico City since its founding in 2002, where it has put down deep roots and focused on building audiences for the genre and its many forms of expression.

The festival is an independent cultural project supported and recognized by the Mexico City government through the Secretaría de Cultura and PROCINE, the Cineteca Nacional, the Instituto Mexicano de Cinematografía, and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, among other institutions. In nearly 17 years, it has established itself as one of the most respected festivals on the circuit in Mexico and Latin America. International media such as Movie Maker Magazine have included it, in its October 2017 issue, as one of the 15 most anticipated festivals in the world within the specialized circuit for 2018.
