Since the birth of the “La Baja Inspira” category in 2021, it has become a fan favourite for films inspired by, filmed or created in the Baja California Peninsula.
This year, seven films from this section were shown in an itinerant (travelling) circuit this August and September.
The Baja Inspira Itinerant aims to strengthen the bonds within the local community by showcasing films that resonate with them. The Los Cabos International Film Festival prioritizes motivating public attendance to each screening in the cycle, hoping that viewers will recognize themselves within the images and stories presented on screen.
The films selected were the public’s favourite during recent Los Cabos International Film Festival editions, all deserving of recognition and award-worthy.
The activities were as follows:
- Between August and September, the Los Cabos Film Festival offered free screenings in different municipalities of Baja California Sur: La Paz, Loreto, Mulegé, Comondú, Todos Santos and Los Cabos.
- For the first time, an exhibition of seven films toured the majestic scenery of the Baja California Peninsula.
- The tour comprised open-air shows and film screenings organized in museums, cultural centers, and universities.
