Feature Film Production

Peru's feature-film tradition runs from Armando Robles Godoy and Francisco Lombardi to today's auteur generation. That generation includes Claudia Llosa (Milk of Sorrow Oscar nominee, Madeinusa Sundance winner) and Javier Fuentes-León (Contracorriente, the first Peruvian Sundance winner in 2009). It also includes Daniel and Diego Vega (Octubre, El Mudo), Salvador del Solar (Magallanes), Melina León (Canción sin nombre at Cannes Directors' Fortnight), and Óscar Catacora's Aymara-language Wiñaypacha.

We give full-service production support for studio-backed and independent features shooting in Peru. Our department heads have worked with Tondero Producciones, Big Bang Films, Inca Producciones, Maretazo Cine, and Origami Studio, alongside DPs from the Inti Briones and Mario Bassino school. Our team handles script breakdown through wrap. That covers crew assembly, plus camera and lighting rentals through Lima houses. We also run location services across Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley, Cusco's colonial core, the Sechura and Paracas deserts, the Cordillera Blanca, Lake Titicaca, and the Amazonian lowlands.

Co-production runs through the DAFO office at the Ministerio de Cultura. It draws on Ley 26370 grants, the Ibermedia regional fund, and bilateral treaties with Argentina, Spain, and Brazil. We handle these frameworks from start to finish, with treaty compliance records, Peruvian partner introductions, and reporting through Ministerio de Cultura. Crew scaling reaches from twenty-person indie units to 150-plus department major-studio shoots. We plan it through Peruvian guild structures and CCNL-equivalent labour terms.

Location access needs INC permits for Machu Picchu, Cusco, Chan Chan, Caral, and Kuelap. It also needs SERNANP clearances for the Manú, Tambopata, and Paracas reserves, plus DGAC drone licensing. We follow altitude protocols above 3,000 metres and plan around the dry season between May and October. Post-prod runs through Lima facilities that deliver DCP, streaming, and broadcast specs. We add festival-ready finishing for premieres at the Festival de Lima Latin American Film Festival hosted by PUCP, the Festival al Este, the city and Trujillo global festivals, and the wider Latin American circuit.
