And we begin!

The Monterrey International Film Festival began sucessfully with the screening of “The Black Pimpernel” (Ulf Hultberg, 2007).

After the inauguration ceremony, Raquel Guajardo, executive producer, Ulf Hultberg and Asa Faringer, directors and Michael Lundeskov, producer were invited onstage, and were joined by the cast to present the film.

The night´s surprise was the presence of the Lavanderos family, who lived a very similar story to the one told in the film.

The Aula Magna was full to capacity as the lights dimmed and the film began.
