Mexico is a country whose rich cinematographic history has been part of the Festival since its origins in 1946, when Maria Candelaria by Emilio Fernández, was presented In Competition and won the Grand Prix. Since then, 22 Mexican films have won awards at the Festival across all categories, including Viridiana, Palme d’Or in 1961

The tradition continued when Alejandro G. Iñárritu presented Babel in Competition in 2006, earning him the Best Director Award and seeing the director make his first mark on the Cannes history books. He was back not long after with Biutiful, winning Javier Bardem a Best Actor award in 2010, and later supported the Festival’s 60th and 70th anniversaries with creations presented as events in their own right: the short film Anna as part of the Chacun son cinéma collaboration in 2007 and the virtual installation Carne y Arena (Virtually present, Physically invisible) in 2017.
