Congratulations Alejandro González Iñárritu ​and​ Emmanuel Lubezki ​for the Oscar Awards.

Obtaining an international award is just the result of combining effort and talent. To excel in Cannes, the Golden Globe Award, in BAFTA, the Venice International Film Festival and now to receive an Oscar is not a coincidence, it only affirms that this is the exclusive result of his great talent and dedication; such features have hoisted up the art of the film director, both in Mexico and abroad over the past few years.

Every time an artist succeeds and provides his creation to the imaginary of the world, that is a celebration for the world’s plurality and culture. It affirms that the incentive to the creative industries is a significant contribution towards human culture.

In view of the foregoing, Writers and Directors Worldwide and the Latin American Audiovisual Directors Alliance are pleased that the outstanding Mexican film director, Alejandro González Iñárritu, has recently obtained for his movie Birdman, the Oscar awards as best director, best screenplay and best film.

We also congratulate the talented photography director, Emmanuel Lubezki, for his Oscar Award in the category “best photography” for the film Birdman.

On behalf of all of us who are part of copyright societies, we join the well-deserved recognition they have received and wish them to keep reaping the fruits of their talent, dedication, care and passion for films.
