Galerna and Homeboys win awards at Impulso Morelia
The cinematic world is buzzing with celebration, and a powerful Mexican feature has taken center stage, earning a coveted award at a prestigious film festival. Tatiana Huezo’s compelling fiction film, Galerna, has won the top prize in the pix-in-post industry section at the 10-day Morelia Film Festival.
This recognition places the film squarely in the spotlight, celebrating not only the artistic merit of the work but also its importance within the post-production sector. The victory highlights the quality and impact of Huezo’s storytelling, signaling a significant achievement for Mexican cinema.
The honor comes in the form of the José Maria Riba Award, an accolade presented by Cinépolis Distribution and Profest 2026. This award is more than just a trophy; it is a meaningful investment designed to support the next phase of creative development.
The prize money awarded is substantial, totaling $14,740, which equates to 250,000 pesos. This funding is specifically earmarked to assist with outstanding post-production needs and/or promotional activities for the film.
This support ensures that the momentum generated by the festival recognition can be effectively translated into wider distribution and greater visibility. It is a fantastic opportunity for the filmmakers to amplify the reach of Galerna and further the reach of Mexican independent storytelling.
