In Mexico, the service sector has become increasingly important both
for gross national product and exports, and the film industry seems to be a
relevant sector to explore in the effort to diversify export niches.
This sector
has a long and varied history, having become very prominent during certain
periods (the Golden Age of the 1940s and 1950s) and less so in others, because
of the various problems faced (for example between 1995 and 2005). The strengths
and weaknesses experienced by the film industry throughout its existence can
serve to orient future public policies. Mexico has important productive and
creative capacities in the film industry that permit it to produce completely
domestic films (domestic preproduction, production and post-production).
Its
proximity to the United States, the varied national scenery, and the skills of
producers, directors, artists, and technicians with years of experience favor
Mexico’s insertion into certain niches of the international film production
chain.
Furthermore, Mexico is one of the largest markets in the world for film
exhibition, although the Mexican film industry rarely takes advantage of this.
Industry production is limited, however, by scant financing, major
