Fundación Ixcanul
Founded by Guatemalan film director Jayro Bustamante, Fundación Ixcanul was born in 2018 with the mission of activating social transformation and the defense of human rights through bold, plural and committed cinema and the strengthening of the film industry in Guatemala and the region.
Our cinema and our actions and programs are based on a clear vision: cinema, in addition to being a space for enjoyment and creation, is a powerful means to transform the lives of people and societies.
We are committed to a cinema that breaks with stereotypes, that seeks to build new narratives, that establishes bridges of communication with all people without distinction, but above all, that helps us to make visible and dream that a future where we have a more dignified, more just and more humane life is possible.
