Last year, CineVegas introduced a new section of the festival to highlight the next wave of Mexican filmmakers and to introduce their films to American audiences. Called La Proxima Ola, it showcased first- and second-time filmmakers — some internationally known as actors — who represent the future of Mexican film.
Films featured last year included the U.S. premiere of “Bad Habits” (“Malos Habitos”), which received La Proxima Ola Jury Prize. Other films included “Chavez,” a documentary about Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez, the directorial debut of actor Diego Luna; “Drama/Mex”; “Never on a Sunday” (“Morirse en Domingo”); and the U.S. premiere of “Once Upon a Time Maria” (“Eros una vez Maria”).”*
