Peru is taking part in the Guadalajara International Film Festival in Mexico which will run from 9 to 16 March. The Peruvian stand is located in the industry section and from here it displays the different geographical locations for international productions interested in developing their projects in this South American country.

The Peruvian delegation is made up of the public sector represented by Marca Peru (Peru Brand) and the Ministry of Culture, whose goal is to improve the country’s visibility within the competitive Latin and Ibero-American cinema market. On the private sector side are the production companies Señor Z, Factoría Sur, Cinecorp and El Directorio, displaying Peruvian talent through their work.

At the festival the Peruvian films “Wiñaypacha” from the director Oscar Catacora and “Desechos (Debris)” from the director Julio Ramos will compete in the “Best Ibero-American Fiction Feature” and “Best Short Film” respectively.

As part of the festival’s industry section, the film “El Abuelo (The Grandad)” by director Gustavo Saavedra, was screened at the Market Streaming on Sunday 11 March at the José Arriola Library Auditorium.

Peru can offer the international film industry extraordinary locations up and down the country with its coastal strip on the Pacific Ocean, dry deserts, Andean mountains and Amazon rainforest. All this makes it a destination with multiple locations and endless possibilities. For its part, the Peruvian audiovisual production sector offers animation services and virtual reality creation content, as well as production services through film production companies and studios with cutting edge technology.
