The microcinemas, located in 9 regions of Peru, are gradually becoming a local cultural association that produces community cinema, (re) buil­ding cultural identity based on the social reality of their territory. It is a communicational and organizational experience capable of stregthening local identity and culture, counterbalancing glo­balized media penetration.
