The 1st Mar del Plata International Film Festival was held between 8 and 14 March 1954 in the Argentine coastal city that gives it its name.[1] Eighteen countries were represented in 52 feature films and 49 short films, which included fiction and documentaries.[2] The festival was attended by important international film figures who accompanied their countries' delegations, including Mary Pickford, Gina Lollobrigida, Errol Flynn, Edward G. Robinson, Joan Fontaine, Fred MacMurray and Rosita Moreno, among others.[1] Unlike later editions, the festival was not competitive,[3] although the annual awards of the Academy of Cinematography Arts and Sciences—which recognized Argentine productions of 1953—were held as part of the event.[2]
The festival was organized by Raúl Apold, who was the chief of state propaganda as Undersecretary of Information of the government of then President Juan Domingo Perón.[4]
