CEO / General Director
Ramirez runs Cinepolis, one of the world’s leading theater exhibition companies — and a main backer of the Morelia International Film Fest — with operations spanning Mexico, Brazil, Spain, India, the U.S., Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Peru and Central America.

Cinepolis also nurtures its distribution arm, which launched in 2015 with Jonas Cuaron’s “Desierto” — the film went on to grab a slew of nominations for Mexico’s highest film award, the Ariel.
