The 18th annual Hola México Film Festival presented by Toyota All-Electric Family

LOS ANGELES - Rezul -- The largest Mexican film festival outside of Mexico, Hola México Film Festival presented by Toyota All-Electric Family, returns for its 18th annual edition on September 25 – October 3, during Hispanic Heritage Month.

The 18th Annual Hola Mexico Film Festival presented by Toyota All-Electric Family is excited to announce the opening night screening of the film "Loco México Mágico".  The screening will take place on September 25, 2026, at The Montalban Theater in Hollywood.

What could possibly go wrong when an eccentric mayor decides to turn Alvarado, Veracruz, into the next great tourist destination by making a Hollywood-style movie? Armed with plenty of enthusiasm, very little money and absolutely no experience, he assembles a colorful crew of local residents, led by a videographer who normally films quinceañera and is suddenly promoted to director. Between improvised special effects, oversized ambitions and that unmistakable Mexican ingenuity, the entire town must come together to get this wonderfully chaotic production onto the big screen. Because in Mexico, when there's no rulebook… there's always magic.
