RIVIERA MAYA FILM FESTIVAL (Video) – The first edition of the Riviera Maya Film Festival has been a big success with filmmakers, residents and tourists alike.

Clive Owen and co-star Pilar Lopez de Ayala were also on hand in support of their closing night film Intruders directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo.
