- Title
Developing a national cinema through co-productions: The Uruguayan case.
- Authors

- Abstract
Since its creation in 2008, the Film and Audiovisual Institute of Uruguay (ICAU) has developed strategies to support, fund and exhibit Uruguayan film productions. These policies have paid particular attention to private and public partners and co-production agreements with both Latin American and European countries. To a huge extent, the contemporary Uruguayan film industry is viable thanks to globalization and the larger markets of Argentina and Brazil. Using data from the annual reports of the ICAU, interviews and media clippings, in this article I trace the development of three co-produced films: Norberto apenas tarde (Norberto's Deadline) (Hendler, 2010), Solo (Rocamora, 2013) and Mr. Kaplan (Brechner, 2014) to show the process and impact of these co-productions and their consumption in Uruguay and the other countries that participated in their financing.
