Mexican Director Wins Big at Sundance

17:36 H | Topics: Culture - Events - Mexico - Movies

Mexican director Ernesto Contreras is celebrating a very nice win at the Sundance Film Festival. His movie, Párpados Azules, took home the special jury prize over the weekend. This is the 7th win for the film, which has triumphed at Guadalajara and San Sebastián, among other important festivals. El Universal reports that Contreras wasn't able to pick up the award personally because he was in Mexico...shooting Cafe Tacvba's new video!

Párpado azules, starring Cecilia Suárez (of TV Azteca novela fame) tells the story of a single woman who wins a trip for two to a romantic getaway, but has no one to share it with. Check out the trailer above.
