Cuban filmmaker Fernando Pérez was granted the Jury's Special Award for &Uáltimos días en La Habana, which also got the prize for Best Soundtrack. The Cuban film Ya no es antes, of Lester Hamlet, was conferred the Public Award.
Under the slogan Mi rollo, mi película (My roll, my movie), the Festival exhibited over 400 films from Latin American, as well as a considerable amount from other countries of the world.
