We are the international promotion agency of Chilean audiovisual industry where: cinema, television, fiction, documentary, animation and virtual reality are our raw materials, and whose job is to present them to the world under the already renowned umbrella of CinemaChile.
In 2009, the Association of Film and Television Producers (APCT), thanks to ProChile’s “Sectoral Brands” program, created CinemaChile as the international promotion agency for the Chilean audiovisual industry. CinemaChile has been behind Chile’s successful positioning in the world as an exceptional beacon for cinematography, creating a work model and an innovative methodology for the promotion and production of an integral audiovisual, without distinction of genres nor formats.
We have been involved in multiple success stories over the past fourteen years, such as A Fantastic Woman by Sebastián Lelio, the first Chilean film to win an Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 2018 and The Cordillera of Dreams, the first Chilean documentary to win the award for Best Ibero-American Film at the 2022 Goya.
To this great journey in the Chilean audiovisual, there is also the support for nomination campaigns such as The Mole Agent, nominated for an Oscar in 2021, the first documentary in the history of Chilean cinema and a woman filmmaker to get there, as well as in the two cases of animation film history with Bear Story by Gabriel Osorio, winner of the Oscar for Best Animation Short in 2014 and the nomination in 2022 also in the same category of Beast by Hugo Covarrubias.
