FINAL FIGURES FOR A GREAT FESTIVAL

23 April 2012 CIFRAS FINALES DE UN GRAN FESTIVAL

The final numbers reveal a turnout increase and the consolidation of the Festival as a major event in the Buenos Aires City’s rich year-long cultural calendar. In total, 350 thousand people participated in the fourteenth edition of BAFICI, which represents a 15 percent increase over the 2011 edition. The number of tickets sold amounts to 230 thousand, which also confirms the attractiveness of such a comprehensive showcase of risk-taking, ground-breaking cinema, hardly available in the commercial circuit of this well-known film-loving city.
