The Alamos International Film Festival (FICAM) started in 2011 with the intention of sharing films and documentaries created in the border regions of Northern Mexico and the U.S. Alamos is the birthplace of María Felix, the diva of Mexican cinema, and a colorful part of FICAM is the classic Mexican films projected nightly during the festival. Other highlights include bicycle powered cinema for all ages in the plaza, educational workshops, special guests, galas, awards ceremonies, and art exhibitions.
FICAM strives to create cultural bridges between Sonora and the U.S. border states and gives special attention to regional films giving voice to the natural world, indigenous communities, and the rich history of Alamos and the borderlands.
FICAM offers plaques and/or original artwork prizes for each category.
