Hola Mexico Virtual Theater to continue with online screenings of acclaimed Mexican films
The Californer/10079892

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- The Hola Mexico Virtual Theatre presented by the Hola Mexico Film Festival series has been extended due to the online series' popularity. The festival wants to continue giving viewers the chance to see some of the best films that have come out of Mexico in recent years and serve as a reminder of how much Mexican cinema has grown in the past two decades. The films have been specially curated for this online theater event experience.

As a result of the COVID-19 health crisis, organizers of the Hola Mexico Film Festival are practicing safe social-distancing by offering this virtual theater experience before the 12th edition of Hola Mexico Film Festival, which has been postponed until September 2020.

In support of the African American Community, Hola Mexico Virtual Theatre will offer the film of La Negrada (Black Mexicans) from Thursday to Sunday. Tickets are $2.99 and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Shot entirely in small towns throughout Oaxaca's gorgeous Costa Chica, La Negrada is the first Mexican fiction film to portray the country's long-neglected black population.
