In December 2024, as a film-tv force, Uruguay came of age, co-hosting with Cannes Film Market, Ventana Sur, Latin America’s biggest film-tv market, held since 2009 in Buenos Aires.
Easy-to-work and welcoming, Ventana Sur also showcased what Uruguay can bring to the table.
That, as of 2024, is rather a lot and cuts two ways: “Both production services on foreign shoots and international co-productions,” says Marcio Migliorisi, head of international affairs at Uruguay’s film-audiovisual agency Acau.

One game changer has been Uruguay’s sky-rocketed international shoot scene.
Since 2019, Uruguay has hosted Keanu Reeves’ “The Conquest,” with troops storming Montevideo’s central Plaza de la Independencia. The country also saw Bill Condon shoot the prison scenes of “Kiss of the Spider Woman” and Brazil’s “Senna,” using Montevideo’s airport to create a racetrack.
