PILLASAGUA CASTRO, Diana Beatriz  and  GARCIA VELASQUEZ, María Emilia. Identification of mechanisms to promote film productions in Ecuador. Ñawi [online]. 2024, vol.8, n.1, pp.241-260. ISSN 2588-0934.  https://doi.org/10.37785/nw.v8n1.a13.

The purpose of this article is to identify mechanisms that can be applicable at the national level to promote the development of cinema in Ecuador. First, it starts with a documentary review on the development of film production in Ibero-America from its beginnings to the present, including the case of Ecuador. The paper then identifies strategies and initiatives that have been implemented in the region to promote film production at the local level. Based on this collection of information, which includes interviews with experts related to the medium, a series of mechanisms are outlined that could be applied in the future in Ecuador to boost its level of film production and its impact on the market.
