Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. In collaboration with the Mexican movie theater chain Cinépolis, the Baja California Film Commission—part of the Secretariat of Economy and Innovation (SEI)—will present the feature films “Entre dos tierras” by Raúl Sebastián del Callejo and “Ángeles FC” by Roberto Ortiz, on August 12th at 6:00 PM, as part of the “BC by BC” showcase.

The showcase will be held free of charge simultaneously in the city of Tijuana at Cinépolis Plaza Río, Theater 13 (“Entre Dos Tierras”), and in Mexicali at Cinépolis Plaza San Pedro, Theater 10 (“Ángeles FC”). The event aims to present film projects produced in Baja California by local talent and crew.

Raúl Sebastián del Callejo participates with his debut feature film, “Entre dos tierras,” a project awarded the 2023 FOCINE grant for debut films from film schools. Del Callejo, who holds a degree in Film and Audiovisual Production, has a distinguished career directing short films such as “Instantes Infinitos” (2017), “Lacuna” (2017), “Brillas” (2019), and “Otro año sin ti” (2020). As a producer, he has worked on projects including “El engaño” (2016), “Tarde o temprano” (2017), “Beneath Us” (2021), “Puertas” (2021), and “Consuelo” (2022). Regarding his feature film, which is currently on its exhibition circuit, director Raúl Sebastián del Callejo shared the deep meaning behind the work:

"‘Entre Dos Tierras’ is a film made with heart, a project conceived as a love letter to Tijuana: a city caught between two worlds, a geographical space that, although often appearing to be a no-man's-land, ends up belonging to all those who decide to make it their own. It is a story about love, family, resilience, and the hope of new beginnings."

The impact of “Entre dos tierras” has been reflected in its national and international circuit, featuring significant participation in film festivals such as the Havana International Festival of New Latin American Cinema, the Los Cabos International Film Festival, the Latino and Native American Film Festival, the California International Film Festival, and the Ensenada International Film Festival.

For his part, director Roberto Ortiz presents his debut feature film, “Ángeles FC,” a feature-length documentary produced with support from FOCINE and IMCINE's post-production program. Ortiz's accolades include the FONCA Young Creators grant (2021) and the Jury Award at the Reto DocsMX for the short film “Los días que no lo tengo.” He has also participated in Talents Guadalajara and served as a jury member at DocsMX. Regarding the origins of the production, the filmmaking team shared the following:

"It's my first feature film, and it's also my city, my people, my roots. It’s not just a film about a team; it's about how to survive through passion and community." — Roberto Ortiz, Director

"This film reaffirmed that storytelling requires ethical responsibility, territorial sensitivity, and a commitment to people's time." — Luisa Bravo, Producer

Currently on its exhibition circuit, the film has been part of the official selection of high-profile festivals in the national industry, including the Guanajuato International Film Festival (Press Award), the DocsMX Documentary Film Festival, Doqumenta (Honorable Mention), and the Ambulante documentary tour.
