About Las Flores
The first festival of its kind to champion education and the responsible use of AI and blockchain in cinema, across Mexico and Canada.
We bring stories from more than fifty countries to the big screen and gather filmmakers, technologists, students and audiences in iconic venues in Mexico City and Montréal. Our program has hosted voices from Disney, Warner, Netflix and beyond, alongside honest conversations on responsible AI that keep creators at the centre.
Filmmakers first
We protect creative work and give visibility to every story that deserves telling. No hidden agenda, no closed circles.
An inclusive community
Students, filmmakers, technologists and newcomers, in spaces where people feel welcomed, heard, and inspired to grow.
Responsible tech education
We introduce emerging tools in a safe, friendly way, without pushing AI adoption and without giving financial advice.
The team
The people behind Las Flores.
