Though Festival Sayulita is only in its third year, it has already become a top destination for international filmmakers to introduce their work. Over 60 films were shown at the 2015 festival, and many more are expected in 2016. All kinds of films will be featured, and there will definitely be something for everyone to enjoy. Types of films include documentaries, stop motion, animation, short features, action sports, comedy and alternative. Watch for signs at locations throughout the town where viewings will be held, and you can also expect to see several viewings right on the beautiful beaches. If you don't want to watch along with the crowds, then arrangements may be made for a private viewing for your party.
