The organisers said that the festival will feature the 67-year-old Stallone's new boxing film 'Grudge Match' on the opening night on January 24 , reported Hollywood Reporter.
"People know him, and for him, it is an honour to return to Mexico and, specifically, Acapulco and to return some of the affection that the people of Mexico have always bestowed on him," said Victor Sotomayor, the director for FICA.
The week-long festival will feature documentaries, short films, expositions, writing workshops and special tourist activities.
