Background
On July 19, 2021, the Lima Film Festival officially announced its 25th edition, celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary under the motto "#25YearsOfLatinCinema" (Spanish: #25AñosDeCineLatino).[4] The festival took place virtually for the second consecutive year, under the title "En Casa," from August 19 to 29, 2021.[2] Organized by the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru and presented by the BBVA Foundation in Peru,[4] the festival offered pre-sales from August 4 to 11 through its official website.[2]
This edition marked the return of the sections "Made in Peru," which promotes the latest in national cinema, and "Acclaimed," showcasing the best films from the world's most important festivals.[1] On August 4, 2021, the festival announced a tribute to the career of French director and screenwriter Laurent Cantet, along with a masterclass he offered. The film Cholo by Bernardo Batievsky opened the festival as the inaugural film, in a digitally restored presentation.[2]
