Since the pandemic, the reactivation of the audiovisual industry in Colombia has been positive. According to the latest Cine en Cifras report by Proimágenes Colombia, 2023 was the year with the highest cinema attendance in history, reaching a figure of 50.39 million spectators. This represents an increase of 19.4% compared to the previous year. In terms of box office sales, there was an 18% increase. These results are related to the efforts made by Proimágenes in 2023 and the visible increase in the number of productions made in Colombia that are beneficiaries of the CINA tax incentive law.
In line with the above, Proimágenes has opened a call for audiovisual promotion for Colombian audiovisual production and services companies in their internationalization plans. Two modalities can be applied: the first, aimed at those companies wishing to attend international audiovisual markets; and the second for those who have ongoing negotiations and wish to convene a technical visit to Colombia with foreign producers. The call is open until December 13, 2024, and details can be found at this link.
The results of the previous year, as well as the constant opportunities and spaces that are opening up, augur well for the audiovisual industry in Colombia in the coming year.
