Diego Luna film festival appearances
Overview
Mexican actor and director Diego Luna has been showcasing his latest film, ‘Ashes’ (Ceniza en la boca), at various international film festivals. In August, Luna received the ‘Heart of Sarajevo’ award at the Sarajevo Film Festival. During a masterclass, he discussed how cinema addresses social issues, drawing comparisons between the historical violence in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Mexico during the 1990s.
His film, an adaptation of a novel by Brenda Navarro and a co-production between Mexico and Spain, explores the emotional experiences of Mexican immigrants in Spain. Luna co-adapted the screenplay alongside Abia Castillo and Diego Rabasa. The narrative follows a woman and her brother traveling from Mexico to Madrid to reunite with their mother, focusing on themes of family separation, racism, and the complexities of migration.
Following its premiere at Cannes, the film was presented at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September. At the San Sebastián International Film Festival, ‘Ceniza en la boca’ won the Agenda 2030 Euskadi Basque Country Award within the Horizontes Latinos section. Luna also presented the film in Alicante, Spain, to advocate for independent cinema.
In October, Luna served on the Honor Committee for the 14th Viva México Festival in Paris and presented the film at the Morelia International Film Festival. Most recently, at the 21st Rome Film Festival, the film inaugurated the Progressive Cinema section. Luna won the Best Screenplay award at the festival, sharing the honor with co-writers Abia Castillo and Diego Rabasa. During his appearances, he has argued that cinema is a “vital tool to combat ignorance, violence, and hatred,” emphasizing that intimate narratives are necessary to foster empathy regarding the lived experiences of migrants.
