Hugo D’Acosta is one of Mexico’s most renowned winemakers and will be pouring a curated selection of wines before the film. He makes several labels of highly acclaimed wines in Baja California and has led a new generation of winemakers through his charitable school, La Escuelita.

Culinary bites for the screening are courtesy of Chef Benito Molina. With Solange Muris, he co-founded their internationally acclaimed restaurant Manzanilla. Molina has become one of Mexico’s most renowned chefs known for his thoughtful treatment of the fresh seafood available in their coastal city of Ensenada. Molina and Muris recently created one of the featured dinners for Mesa Abierta, Enrique Olvera’s celebration of Mexican cuisine.
