As reported by festival organisers, Mikkelsen, a frequent visitor to Mallorca where he owns a house, has accepted the proposal from the festival director, Sandra Lipski, to become a part of the committee.

"I will do it, I love Mallorca and this is a great festival", the actor responded to Lipski's offer, who emphasised that with his incorporation he hopes to strengthen the festival's growth and its international presence.
