Hosted by notable film critics Fernanda Solórzano, who has written extensively on cinema, and Leonardo García Tsao, who is also a screenwriter and former director of Mexico's National Cinematheque, Encuadre Iberoamericano (Ibero-American Framing) is a television series produced by TV UNAM and Canal 22 that explores Ibero-American films from a wide range of perspectives such as the representation of diverse social issues like mental health, gender-based violence, sexual diversity, migration, and religion.

In this episode, Iberoamérica Vista por Cineastas Extranjeros (Ibero-America Through the Eyes of Foreign Filmmakers), Fernanda and Leonardo discuss how Ibero-American realities have been depicted in cinema by foreign directors. Their discussion goes from the films that sketch only a superficial representation of the countries' tourist attractions and those that use folklore to highlight the otherness, to the films that portray a more complete perspective of the social and political conditions as the background for thrilling stories.

The episode also includes a clip of Costa Rican director Ariel Escalante Meza talking about his latest movie Domingo y la Niebla (Domingo and the Mist) (2022) and other two clips about the participation of Ibero-America in the 2022 International Short Film Festival Oberhausen and the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, as well as a brief review of the work of award-winning Mexican director Ernesto Contreras.
