THREE AMIGOS

01. - 14.06.

The transnational filmmaking of Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and Alfonso Cuarón

These three Directors are all highly acclaimed, Academy Award-winning film directors from Mexico who have collectively reshaped Hollywood!

They’re known as the “Three Amigos” of Cinema —they’re Mexican, born in the 1960s, filmmakers, and friends—and over the years they’ve won just about every major film award there is: Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and Guillermo del Toro. 🇲🇽🌵🌞

We’re talking about a total of 11 Oscars and 7 Golden Globes (for Gravity, Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), The Revenant, and The Shape of Water) and, among others, 2 Golden Lions at the Venice Film Festival for Best Film following Cuarón’s win for Roma (presented, incidentally, by jury president Del Toro!), which followed 2018 win for “The Shape of Water.”
