The entrance to the Festival is free and will take place in the "Alianza Francesa's Theater" of Managua, which has a capacity for about 250 people.
Zárate told to ViaNica.com that "the Peruvian film production is going through a gender revolution with a growing number of filmmakers who take advantage of the tastes of the local audience to find funding and exhibit their films in theaters of national and international cinemas. Thus, in recent years the Peruvian film production is between 10 and 20 films a year. "
Following with the events, on Tuesday July 26 will open the II Food Festival attended by senior officials from Nicaragua, diplomatic corps and members of the Peruvian community, privately. And from Wednesday 27 to Friday 29, the Nicaraguan public can enjoy its renowned cuisine in the Holiday Inn restaurant, at lunch and dinner times, thanks to the contribution of the chef Eric Vera from Peru.
