Latin American cinema, despite its diversity of cinematographic proposals, especially in the segment that circulates most in international environments and receives a positive critical reception, shares a common structural characteristic: the dependence on laws, regulations and public funds to make films, festivals, data collection and the entire production chain of the sector viable. In current times, how can we evaluate this issue in each country? Is there support for international circulation and participation in market or co-production events? Do public contests include affirmative actions to increase the presence of women, indigenous peoples and Afro-descendants?
