About This Deal

Mexico has always been a country of contrasts; a land where the incredible happens every day. It boasts the most gorgeous spaces, but also struggles with a multitude of unresolved problems. If this sounds like the perfect backdrop to a movie, that's because modern Mexico has enough drama for a million screenplays and the scenery in which to bring these to life. So it's little surprise that the country's film industry has taken huge leaps of late.

There's no better place to appreciate the growth of Mexican movies that at the Hola Mexico Film Festival. Hosted by the beautiful Montalban Theater in the heart of Hollywood, Hola Mexico brings together a dozen of the finest Mexican films produced over recent months, plus Q&A sessions, the Milagro Tequila Filmmakers Lounge, and an opening night fiesta. Red carpet premieres during the event (which runs May 19 - 25) will feature actors and directors from Mexico.

Today's deal will get you a Hola Mexico Film Festival pass for half-price: $40 instead of the regular $80. This pass is good for all screenings (there are 17 in all) plus the opening night fiesta. So be a "first" rather than a follower; give yourself a break from those generic blockbusters; and actually discover something on the big screen next week.
