Filmed in Peru brings Peruvian Films and Directors to the USA. Each year, we search for the best Peruvian movies and show them in theaters in New York City and Miami. We also bring the filmmakers to introduce their films and to meet with both the audience members and representatives of the USA film industry.
In 2023, we were honored to host three Peruvian Directors including Henry Vallejo, whose film was Peru's selection for the Oscars. In 2024, we hosted four directors including Francisco Lombardi, one of Peru's most prolific filmmakers.
During our first year, we flew three film directors from Peru to New York City. In our second year, we brought four filmmakers to both New York and Miami. The number of people we can bring will vary each year depending on what our sponsors can provide but the presence of Peruvian filmmakers at our events are very important to the festival and we hope to continue to help build a better understanding of Peruvian film in the USA.
We accept all genres of films (narrative, documentary, animation, etc.) of any length but we require that the film be produced in Peru and that the majority of the movie is shot in Peru. All films must be sub-titled in English and generally films must have been completed after January 1, 2023. (We make an exception for a high profile film that is premiering in the USA for the first time.) We only show the films in theaters, so movies must be delivered in DCP format.
