- This 27th edition programs 327 titles, including 147 Argentine films and 112 world premieres, across nine Buenos Aires venues.
- The Encuentro Federal de Industria en Foco selected 30 producers and small companies from 282 applications, with in-person sessions on April 23–24 to spur co-production and international reach.
