Prior to the presentation of his film Five Easy Pieces, director and producer Bob Rafelson unveiled his armchair along with Mexican director Carlos Reygadas and Romanian filmmaker Cristian Mungiu.

At the end of the screening, a Q&A session was held where Carlos Reygadas referred to Five Easy Pieces as an "honest movie with real-life scenes".

Rafelson stressed the relevance of making it very easy to make a movie today thanks to new technologies, but that does not mean that "everyone can think of a movie". "Who would have thought fifteen or twelve years ago that Mexico would become the source of such good filmmakers," he added, acknowledging the work of his friend Carlos Reygadas.
