Abstract

This chapter gives an overview of Peruvian Regional Cinema, which the authors broadly define as filmmaking that takes place outside of Lima and is a low-budget cinema with artisanal forms of production and distribution using channels outside of the multiplex circuit. The chapter explains the reasons for its emergence, describes the profiles of regional filmmakers and explains how the production, filming, distribution and exhibition systems of regional films work. The chapter also analyzes the genres, as well as the narratives, used in these films. Finally, the analysis considers support provided by the state for regional filmmaking.

This text is an abridged and updated version of Chapter 1 of the book Las miradas múltiples. El cine regional peruano (vol. 1), written by the authors and published by Fondo Editorial de la Universidad de Lima in 2017.
