A platform, a screening space, and a collective archive. We’re building it slowly, together — for the real, raw and unfiltered. We host screenings, invite conversation, and build the Society... in a city that has always made room for the underground.

5pm - 3am
🎟️ Free admission to all screenings.
All selected films will be screened and celebrated in front of a live audience and showcased on our website.

We also host the Paraíso Terrenal Film Society, our year-round screening society. Festival selections are considered for both the main event and our screening series.
PTIFF takes place inside one of Mexico City’s most iconic cultural spots known for its rooftop, live music, and radical spirit. This is not your average cinema. It’s a space for gathering, sharing, and celebrating underground voices.
