ROMERO-ESPINOSA, Santiago Fernando e HERRERA-ORTEGA, Katherine Cristina. The impact of public policies on film production in Ecuador during the decade 2007-2017. Universitas [online]. 2022, n.37, pp.201-221. ISSN 1390-8634. https://doi.org/10.17163/uni.n37.2022.08.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of public policies on film production in Ecuador during the decade 2007-2017. With the creation of the Law for the Promotion of National Cinema in 2006, the country initiated a change in film production, the present research is qualitative with an exploratory approach. A bibliographic review was carried out to identify the progress of cinema in the country since the Law for the Promotion of Cinema issued in 2006 and a year later the creation of the National Film Council. Surveys were applied to a group of 200 filmmakers and audiovisual producers for which a questionnaire with six closed questions was designed. As results, it is evident that the lack of foreign investment, the limited application of the Organic Law of Culture and the Communication Law have left cinema out of the priority issues of national development, thus minimizing the creation, distribution and equitable access to different audiovisual contents. The participation of the audiovisual sector in Ecuador’s GDP until 2010 was only 0.36%, the one with the highest number of productions was 2015 with 67 projects and an amount of $1’ 646,338 with respect to previous years. Despite these gaps, Ecuadorian cinema continues to be characterized by its creativity, entertainment storytelling and resistance that still awaits an upturn.
