BEHIND THE CAMERA: Creativity and Investment for Latin America & the Caribbean [REPORT]

This document provides an overview of the audiovisual sector in Latin America and the Caribbean. It uses a hybrid methodology that combines primary and secondary research, as well as nearly 100 interviews with key stakeholders in the industry. We present a map of the region, highlighting its milestones, with a focus on public policy debates and 21st-century skills. We include conversations with emerging creators, producers, entertainment executives, as well as with members of film associations and institutions. Our goal is to kickstart a conversation on the potential of this strategic sector and explore the challenges faced by its workforce. For this purpose, it is necessary to understand where professionals train, how they join a production, and which technical skills are in greatest demand. With 2025 in sight, our region must invest in training and make the most of the opportunities presented by this growing industry.
