Portugal was chosen as the guest of honor for this year's edition, with Portuguese actress Maria de Medeiros being honored with the Homenaje, Guest of Honor.[3] Mexican actress and film producer Dolores Heredia received the Silver Mayahuel Lifetime Achievement Award (Mayahuel de Plata), while Mexican film producer Mónica Lozano Serrano was honoured with the Mayahuel FICG Industry Award. Chilean actress Daniela Vega received the Maguey Queer Icon Award, Mexican musician Denisse Guerrero and lead vocalist of the electropop band Belanova received the Maguey Lifetime Achievement Award, and Spanish filmmaker J. A. Bayona received the International Mayahuel Award.[4]
A new section named Cine de Género was introduced, focused on "genre films", including horror, fantasy, and science fiction.[5]
The festival's poster was designed by cartoonist José Ignacio Solórzano "Jis" and features a centaur as a metaphor for "the nature of cinema, a fusion of diverse elements, a times wonderful, other times chaotic".[5][6]
