Meanwhile, Luis Puenzo, INCAA director, stated that in "this difficult year has led us to rethink the Mar del Plata Festival online".

Likewise, the president of the Mar del Plata International Film Festival Fernando Juan Lima assured that "this virtual edition, exception and opportunity at the same time, It has not implied that we stopped trying to generate instances of face-to-face meetings. The projections in several provinces and in the Centennial Park, in CABA (habitual headquarters of our beloved BAFICI) they are a special reason for joy and denote the festival's decision to return to theaters as soon as conditions allow it ".
