Colmena is a film collective from Mexico, founded in 2015 by a group of independent filmmakers who have worked together for the last ten years.

We believe in cinema as a transformative force, for oneself and for Society. Because of our need to tell stories, we constantly explore and experiment with collaborative forms of film financing, production and distribution, using our own monetary and creative resources and with the support of a network of trusted collaborators that we have built over the years. years.

Our main objective is to provoke conversations about the situations that currently affect Mexican society.

Awarded at the 2023 Morelia Festival with an unprecedented Special Jury Mention for their contributions to contemporary Mexican cinema, we believe in cinema as a tool for personal and collective transformation. Our films MOSTRO, Todos los Incendios (FOCINE and EFICINE) and Lumbrensueño (Biennale College Cinema) premiered at the Venice and Locarno festivals in 2021 and 2023 and were distributed in Mexico with the Support of EFICINE Distribución in 2024.

We are currently producing the films Una Chica Triste by Fernanda Tovar (Winner of the Screenplay Residency at Cannes Critics' Week) and Dios y la Cumbia del Diablo by Carlos Lenin (Awarded at the Berlinale Project Market in 2023) and Goodbye to Satan by José Pablo Escamilla.
