With the screening of 'I'm Leaving' (Ya me voy), which is a film about the difficulties and doubts of an illegal Mexican immigrant in New York to return to his country, the cycle 'Latinos in the U.S.' began. 

Nine films are exhibited in the cycle that does not include films about the journeys and odysseys of migrants to cross the northern border of Mexico into the "American dream".

This year's edition, the twenty-ninth, has been held from September 28 to October 4, 2020.

The poster of the event was created by the Mêlé workshop, and it mixes the iconography of the Mexican Virgin of Guadalupe with the Statue of Liberty of New York, in an image that represents the background of the special program of this year's event.
