JAKARTA (JP): Mexican film week is now underway at Taman

The film festival, which has been organized by the Jakarta
Kine Klub, is comprised mainly of films from the l980s, including
Hard Days, Mariana, Mariana, Hope, Romelia's Story and Empire of
the Fortune.

Most of the films were produced by Imcine, a company widely-
known in Mexico for its active promotion of the country's film
industry.

Imcine is one of two major film companies in Mexico. The
other, Televicine, is also known as the producer of the
telenovela Maria Mercedes, which has a wide following among
Indonesian viewers.

The Mexican Film Festival will cover much ground and deal with
themes ranging from middle-class society and affairs of love to
revolutionary struggle. The festival is a rare gem for Jakarta
movie buffs and all films will have English subtitles. (raw)
