Overview
- Both programs published their lineups and logistics with tickets on sale for the Festival Internacional de Cine de Mar del Plata and Fuera de campo set to begin on Nov 5.
- The official festival will screen more than 150 films across venues including Teatro Auditorium, Paseo Aldrey and Cine Ambassador and will open with Martin McDonagh’s Wild Horse Nine.
- Festival ticketing starts at ARS 5,000 for general admission with reduced ARS 3,000 box-office fares for retirees and students and limited 2x1 morning and afternoon promotions.
- Fuera de campo will run its third Mar del Plata edition at Teatro Enrique Carreras, featuring Argentine premieres such as Mariano Llinás’s Biografía de Jorge Luis Borges and ticketed entry at ARS 5,000 plus free public debates.
- The coexistence of the two programs continues a split in the local film scene that began in 2024 when filmmakers opposed INCAA policy; the parallel model gives audiences a choice between the official international lineup and an artist-driven, politically framed showcase of national cinema.
