Colombia Engages Leading Film Studios to Expand Audiovisual Investment

Washington, D.C., November 5, 2026. Ambassador María Consuelo Araújo hosted a high-level delegation from the Motion Picture Association (MPA), including representatives of Netflix, Skydance, Disney, NBCUniversal, Paramount, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, to discuss opportunities for further investment in Colombia’s film and audiovisual industries.

The meeting, held at the Ambassador’s Residence in Washington, focused on Colombia’s production incentives, intellectual property protection and opportunities to expand international productions while supporting Colombian creative talent.

The discussions also drew on Ambassador Araújo’s experience as Minister of Culture, when she helped advance Colombia’s landmark Film Law of 2003. The legislation established the Film Development Fund and introduced incentives for private investment, laying the groundwork for the country’s subsequent audiovisual production framework.

The engagement forms part of the Embassy’s efforts to promote Colombia as a competitive destination for international production and investment, supported by a predictable regulatory environment and continued dialogue with the industry.
