This panel brings together leading producers and industry voices to examine how shifting political and economic forces are transforming Latin American filmmaking, from shrinking public support and rising production costs to a growing dependence on international co-productions. What compromises — creative, cultural, or structural — are being made to get films off the ground? And what strategies are emerging to protect local perspectives and sustain independent storytelling? This conversation explores what it means to make films in and for Latin America today, and how filmmakers can forge sustainable paths forward.
