Bogotá, December 2025. – Following a record year in which the Audiovisual Investment Certificate (CINA) allocation was fully assigned by September, the Colombia Film Commission at Proimágenes Colombia announces the 2026 CINA allocation of COP 350 billion (approximately USD 90 million), representing a 49% increase compared to the previous year and the largest amount in the history of the incentive. This increase reaffirms the Colombian government’s confidence in the sustained growth of the audiovisual sector and the positive impact of this public policy in attracting international investment.

Since its inception, CINA has supported over 165 international audiovisual projects, generating more than COP 3.4 trillion (USD 861 million) in investment and creating over 130,000 direct jobs, establishing Colombia as one of the most competitive production destinations in the region.

The performance of the incentive in 2025 confirmed the strength of Colombia’s model:32 projects were approved, fully allocating the available budget across film, series, unscripted formats, video games, post-production, and animation. These included productions for global platforms such as Netflix, Amazon, and Disney+, as well as productions led by major international studios including Sony Pictures and Paramount, alongside international feature films and independent productions.

“The success of CINA in 2025 demonstrates that Colombia has a solid, reliable and internationally competitive incentive system. With the 2026 CINA allocation, we are marking a milestone in our strategy to consolidate Colombia as a strategic partner for large-scale audiovisual projects. This increase responds to the confidence of international producers, who have found in Colombia highly qualified talent, powerful stories, diverse locations and a robust, globally competitive incentive system,” said Silvia Echeverri, Director of the Colombia Film Commission at Proimágenes Colombia.

International producers have echoed this confidence. Matthew Patnick, Executive Producer of The Night Manager Season 2, remarked: “It was a massive decision to come over to Colombia. The tax incentive is so favorable to productions coming here; it made everything much easier and had a huge financial impact on the show.”

Beyond principal photography, the incentive continues to strengthen key segments of the audiovisual value chain. In recent years, Colombia has consolidated its position as a regional hub for post-production, animation and video games, with a growing number of international projects choosing the country exclusively for these stages, contributing to knowledge transfer and the development of specialized talent.

Looking ahead to 2026, several CINA beneficiary projects are scheduled to premiere on major international platforms, including Season 2 of One Hundred Years of Solitude (Netflix), the highly anticipated second season of The Night Manager (Amazon) starring Tom Hiddleston, as well as a documentary on Colombian football star James Rodríguez (Netflix), highlighting the incentive’s reach across genres, audiences and global markets.

With a stable legal framework in place through 2032, highly skilled crews, expanding infrastructure, and a proven incentive system, Colombia enters 2026 well-positioned for sustained growth and long-term collaboration with the global audiovisual industry.

Colombia We Have It.
