The Cusco Film Festival is an activity organized by the Decentralized Directorate of Culture of Cusco, together with civil society organizations, since 2011. Its objective is to make a film festival with the community to empower it through processes of training, creation and exhibition of audiovisual content.
Its specific objectives are:
- To generate processes of training and exchange of experiences.
- To generate artistic exhibitions that promote their own cultural identities.
- To consolidate a cinematographic exhibition of alternative films.
The festival has two main lines of work:
- Community film festival in two districts of the province of Cusco.
- Film screenings - National Cinematographic Exhibition.
The beneficiaries are the citizens of the city of Cusco, who can participate in the different stages of the value chain of the audiovisual sector.
As of 2019, nine editions of CINESUYU have been conducted, and 29,157 participants and 445 films screenings have been registered.
Approximately USD 105,421.70 per year.

- We consider it is necessary to broaden the call, involving other regions of the country; to do so, the festival's communication plan should be strengthened.
- A program to train audiences should be developed with the community, prior to the festival, not only with the aim to fill the rooms but also to train citizens to participate in culture.
- The offer of training activities on audiovisual issues should be enhanced, as it is the case of "Creative Freedom", and the scope should be expanded to other spaces of vulnerable population, such as homes for abandoned children, abused women, teenage mothers, etc.
- It is essential to create a network of festivals that allows us to strengthen our skills to organize festivals for the cultural and arts industries.
