Background

[edit]

On June 27, 2023, the Lima Film Festival officially announced its 27th edition under the motto "#LetsBeProtagonists" (Spanish: #SeamosProtagonistas). The festival took place from August 10 to 18, 2023, featuring both in-person and virtual screenings. Organized by the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru and presented by the BBVA Foundation in Peru, the Ministry of Culture of Peru, the Gran Teatro Nacional del Perú, and in collaboration with PromPerú,[4] the complete programming and ticket sales were available starting from July 25, 2023.[5]

In its 27th edition, the film festival paid tribute to the careers of five distinguished personalities: Argentine filmmaker Lita Stantic, Peruvian actor Hernán Romero, Spanish film producer Esther García, French filmmaker Leos Carax, and the BBVA Foundation for its 50th anniversary.[6] On August 8, 2023, a surprise screening for the film The Monroy Affaire (Spanish: El caso Monroy) scheduled to take place on August 17, 2023, was announced, along with a talk featuring the film's director and artistic director of the festival, Josué Méndez, and its protagonist, the Mexican actor Damián Alcázar, on August 18, 2023.[7]
