The French actress, director and screenwriter Julie Delpy will be one of the figures honored at the 16th edition of the UNAM International Film Festival (FICUNAM). During the event, a selection of his works covering different stages of his career will be screened.

Delpy, known for her role in Before Sunrise, will arrive in Mexico as part of the 200 years of diplomatic relations between Mexico and France. The collaboration includes FICUNAM, the French Institute of Latin America (IFAL) and the French Embassy in Mexico.

Activities and recognitions

The tribute includes the presentation of the UNAM Filmoteca Medal, an award created in 1987 that distinguishes figures and institutions that have enriched the world’s cinematographic heritage. Personalities such as the Spanish director Víctor Erice and the French actor and director Mathieu Amalric have also received this medal.

Activities open to the public include a question and answer session after one of the screenings and a master class where Delpy will share reflections on the film industry.

The French ambassador to Mexico, Delphine Borione, will attend the opening ceremony as part of the celebrations for the bicentennial of bilateral relations.

Delpy’s trajectory

Julie Delpy was interested in cinema from the age of 14. He collaborated with filmmakers such as Agnieszka Holland, Jim Jarmusch and Jean-Luc Godard. For Before Nightfall, where he was also a co-writer, he received an Oscar nomination and recognition for his work on the screenplay. As an actress, she received a Golden Globe nomination.

12 days after entering The house of the famous Mexico, Cynthia Klitbo already identifies the most difficult thing about confinement: the distance from her loved ones.

The rules of the reality show prohibit photos or personal memories. Everything remains in memory. “What do I plan? Well, they are inside my heart. Do you think I am going to erase my daughter’s face from the image? Never. My boyfriend is the first sun I see on my pillow, but I will carry them in my heart and in my mind,” she said in an interview.

Between pets and absences

The actress recognizes that those who will feel her absence the most will be her pets. “It’s going to be very difficult because everyone sleeps with me. In the mornings my cats come to bed… and there’s my chihuahua, Carmelita, who is like my baby. I think it’s going to be difficult for me to let go of her,” he explained. Two friends will take care of the animals in their absence.

Although he will miss the calls with his daughter, who is studying in the United States, Klitbo does not see the reality show as a sacrifice. On the contrary: “It will be difficult not to be able to talk to my daughter on the phone… not to be in contact with my family, with my dogs and also with my boyfriend…”. But he considers the project an important professional opportunity.

An opportunity, not a sacrifice

With more than 40 years of experience in soap operas such as Amor en Silent, Cadenas de Amargura, La Dueña and El Privilege de Amar, the actress seeks to connect with new audiences. “I think it is a very big opportunity because it is a different type of audience. It is a project that people liked and that catapults you… More than a sacrifice, it is an opportunity,” he stated.

Regarding the competition, Klitbo confesses that he would like to win, but he is realistic. “I would love to win, but I’m not the only one who’s going to be in there. We have other participants and anything can happen. But look, being in there is a win-win.”

She is the sixth participant confirmed for the show’s fourth season, which premieres July 26.

A career that marked an era

Elsa Aguirre, one of the last great figures of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, died at the age of 95. The news sparked a wave of tributes on social media, where colleagues and admirers remembered his legacy.
