In 2025, 32 projects were approved, including shows from Disney+, Sony Pictures, Paramount, Netflix and Amazon.
Altogether, these projects brought in an estimated $188 million in investment.
“The success of CINA in 2025 demonstrates that Colombia has a solid, reliable and internationally competitive incentive system,” said Silvia Echeverri, head of the Colombia Film Commission, adding: “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.” Matthew Patnick, executive producer of Season 2 of “The Night Manager,” concurred: “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.” The growing influx of international productions that include Zack Snyder’s indie drama “The Last Photograph,” Constantin Film’s survival horror pic “Titan” (renamed “Snake”) and “Sierra Madre,” starring Kiefer Sutherland, has greatly contributed to the advancement of Colombia’s audiovisual infrastructure in both talent and logistics.
