Background

edit

On June 8, 2020, the Lima Film Festival announced that its twenty-fourth edition would be held virtually through its digital platforms. This decision was made in response to the state of emergency and health measures imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Peru. The festival took place in a reduced format from August 21 to 30.[4] On July 24, 2020, the official announcement was made under the title "En Casa", with the motto "#LatinCinemaConnectsUs" (Spanish: #ElCineLatinoNosConecta). Organized by the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru and presented by the BBVA Foundation in Peru,[5] a pre-sale of tickets was made available from August 10 to 14, 2020.[2]

As part of the festival, renowned French filmmaker Olivier Assayas was announced as the special guest. Assayas conducted a masterclass and a retrospective of his own films was showcased as part of the festival's activities.[2]
