    Peruvian cinema has achieved global recognition due to the impact of film productions such as 'Madeinusa' and 'The Milk of Sorrow', directed by Claudia Llosa.

    The Peruvian director enjoys credibility and admiration in the world of cinema and at home: she reflects the reality of her country through the stories of her films. Until recently, Peruvian cinema was completely unknown, but this excellent director has placed Peru on screens around the world. Llosa chose Magaly Solier to star as the protagonist in her last two films.

    The film "The secret in their eyes " has become Argentina's first film to win an Oscar (2010) in the category of Best Foreign Language Film. Argentina has a world-renowned film industry which is certainly the most visible in South America. This is partly due to the important support that institutions like the National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts (INCAA) give to their productions, in addition to their interest in training new directors.
