  Passage: The Ariel Award for Best Director (Spanish: Premio Ariel a la Mejor Dirección) (officially known as the Ariel Award for Best Directing) is an award presented by the Academia Mexicana de Artes y Ciencias Cinematográficas (AMACC) in Mexico.  It is given in honor of a film director who has exhibited outstanding directing while working in the Mexican film industry.  In 1947, the 1st and 2nd Ariel Awards were held, with Roberto Gavaldón and Emilio "El Indio" Fernández winning for the films "La Barraca" and "Enamorada", respectively.  With the exception of the years 1959 to 1971, when the Ariel Awards were suspended, the award has been given annually.  Nominees and winners are determined by a committee formed every year consisting of academy members (active and honorary), previous winners and individuals with at least two Ariel nominations; the committee members submit their votes through the official AMACC website.
