We will carry on with our work of putting on the best possible edition in the fall and hope to meet again in the cinemas bristling with Documenta Madrid”, explains Gonzalo de Pedro, artistic director of the Cineteca Madrid, a space that belongs to the Culture, Tourism and Sport area of the Madrid City Council and is managed by Madrid Destino, who is organizing the 17th International Film Festival.
