To the common channel-flipper, Mexico onscreen is either some "aye-dios-mio" melodrama or an epic starring a few trim Zapata moustaches. Founded in Australia, of all lands, this festival clues us in on the cinematic variety now offered south of the border. While the hugely popular Tear This Heart Out is indeed a post-revolutionary epic (and Mexico's entry for this past foreign-language Oscar), there's also fare like The Old Thieves, in which jailed desperados recount their schemes during the free-for-all '60s; and Meet the Head of Juan Perez, a comedy about a circus' latest attraction — a cursed guillotine. Peso-magnet Guillermo del Toro produces Insignificant Things, a polished story that addresses personal entanglements via emblems, while "Mexico's Sweetheart" Angélica María nets a two-film tribute.
