UAEMéx launches KINEMA-TITLÁN film and animation festival

The Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEMéx) has launched the first edition of KINEMA-TITLÁN, a festival dedicated to film, animation, and sequential art. Organized by the university’s Secretariat of Identity and Culture through the Casa de las Diligencias University Cultural Center, the Faculty of Arts, and the School of Performing Arts, the event aims to connect artists, students, and the public.

Edgar Pérez Serrato, director of Casa de las Diligencias, noted that the festival provides a vital space for creators facing limited production and distribution opportunities in Mexico. He emphasized the importance of fostering a creative community to overcome social prejudices regarding artistic careers.

The festival's opening featured a screening of Charles Chaplin’s 1921 film, The Kid, accompanied by live music from the Ensamble Clásico Cronos quartet.
