Mexican films earn reputation for quality

“With 16 Oscar nominations for “Babel” (directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu), “Pan’s Labyrinth” (directed and written by Guillermo Del Toro) and “Children of Men” (directed and co-written by Alfonso Cuarón), Hollywood unofficially declared 2007 the Year of the Mexican Filmmaker. With impressive storytelling and powerful use of cinematography, set design and locations, the films showed a striking new era of artistic maturity and ambition.

These filmmakers were not only good friends but collaborators, helping each other launch new projects and build new systems of production in Mexico through a five-film, $100 million deal with Universal Pictures. The label “Made in Mexico” promises to be a hallmark of quality.”*
