The Forum is a space that hosts the most radical, daring and avant-garde proposals and visions of both renowned and beginners filmmakers.

The viewer can take a tour of the most outstanding work of countries such as Belgium, Bolivia, Canada, China, United States, the Philippines, France, the Czech Republic, Russia and Mexico.
The international movies to be projected are: A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery by Lav Diaz, The Disciple by Kirill Serebrennikov, Swagger: Stylish People by Oliver Babinet, Kaili Blues: Song of Remembrance by Gan Bi, Paterson by Jim Jarmusch, I, Olga. History of an assassin by Petr Kazda and Tomás Weinreb.

"They are difficult movies, less known that show a geographical diversity, but also how filmmakers have similar concerns to all other humans related to issues of migration, tolerance, integration, economic difficulties, fundamentalisms and the things and situations that we all live”, said Carro.
Concerning Casa Roshell by Camila José Donoso, Roshell Terranova said that portrays one day at Roshell House, a space in Mexico City where courses, workshops, conferences and counseling are given to the LGBT community.
"It shows what is happening there and how this space is a refuge for the transgender community. This movie is not a documentary, but something real that has been called by its author as a transfiction”.
Regarding the movie Nocturno by Luis Ayhllón starring by Juan Carlos Colombo, the actor said it’s a movie shot in a month about a truculent history.
"We will see a man with a terminal illness who is visited by a nurse who is his daughter and he doesn´t recognize her. It’s a movie that goes into detail about truculent themes, but has a brutal and grotesque sense of humor that make it fun because lets us see things in a different way”.
Finally, the Director of Broadcasting and Programming stood out that the most attractive movie for the public will be A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery (Lav Diaz), "an eight-hour, eight-minute feature film that is a challenge but we did not want to leave outside because it seems important to us and it is also difficult to see and to program for its duration”.
The 37th International Film Forum of the Cineteca Nacional will have 14 venues in Mexico City and Metropolitan Area, among others, Cinemex and Cinépolis areas, and La Casa del Cine.
Then, it will travel through 20 venues in the interior of the Republic: the Cineteca of Nuevo Leon, Cineforo of the University of Guadalajara, Cine Morelos and Centro Cultural Tijuana.
