The 25th Lima Film Festival, organized by the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, took place from 19 to 29 August 2021 in Lima, Peru. The awards were announced on 29 August 2021, with Clara Sola winning the Trophy Spondylus.

Background

On July 19, 2021, the Lima Film Festival officially announced its 25th edition, celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary under the motto "#25YearsOfLatinCinema" (Spanish: #25AñosDeCineLatino). The festival took place virtually for the second consecutive year, under the title "En Casa," from August 19 to 29, 2021. Organized by the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru and presented by the BBVA Foundation in Peru, the festival offered pre-sales from August 4 to 11 through its official website.

This edition marked the return of the sections "Made in Peru," which promotes the latest in national cinema, and "Acclaimed," showcasing the best films from the world's most important festivals. On August 4, 2021, the festival announced a tribute to the career of French director and screenwriter Laurent Cantet, along with a masterclass he offered. The film Cholo by Bernardo Batievsky opened the festival as the inaugural film, in a digitally restored presentation.
