SERGIO MOLINA(1945 - 2008)
Sergio Molina, actor, writer, cultural promoter, and former National Film Commissioner of Mexico, passed away this Sunday June 29th at the age of 63 due to complications derived from pulmonary emphysema.
He was an active supporter of Mexico's Film Industry and for the last 10 years he worked nonstop to promote and develop film incentives to further the growth of Film Production in Mexico.
As head of the Mexican National Film Commission, Sergio Molina organized eight editions of EXPO LOCACIONES (Mexico’s National Locations Expo) and consolidated an effective network of State Film Commissions throughout Mexico.
During his last term as National Film Commissioner, the City of Tijuana applied and joined the National Film Commissions Network and after certification of being in full compliance with the rules and regulations, our city was recognized as Mexico's First City Film Commission.

DON SERGIO (as we affectionately called him here in Tijuana) was a very charming, energetic and sometimes controversial man and I am sure no one will ever doubt where his heart truly was... In Cinema!
May he rest in peace.
May he rest in peace.
