Tell a Friend

In this section, brief stories of images and artifacts related to Mexican film history are told.  The photographs or graphic art and objects are chosen from the Agrasánchez Archive's holdings.

Also, the stories of lost Mexican films that have captured our attention are presented here. Some of those lost films are in fact extant, but their negatives or prints are held by archives that would not make use of them or let others do so.
