2013 Edition
Still with the name Baja International Film Festival, the second edition took place on November 13th through 16th in Pabellón Cultural de la República and Puerto Paraíso. Throughout four days 35 films were screened, we had a total of 80 film screenings: 6 world premieres, 14 national premieres and 1 Latin American premiere.
In 2013, it was held the first edition of the Gabriel Figueroa Film Fund, a film fund that so far continues its work to support Mexican cinema and its link with American and Canadian cinematographies.
