Former Costa Rican Film Commissioner Marysela Zamora: ‘I Believe That the Next Great Chapter in Audiovisual Media Will Be Written in Spanish’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Marysela Zamora's assertion that the next great chapter in audiovisual media will be written in Spanish is a bold claim, but one that is backed by the growth of the Latin American film industry in recent years. As a former Film Commissioner, Zamora has been at the forefront of promoting Costa Rican and Latin American cinema, and her continued involvement with Iberofic will undoubtedly help to further amplify the region's voice in the global audiovisual landscape.

The resurgence of the Costa Rica Media Market (CRMM) during Zamora's tenure is a testament to her dedication to fostering industry connections and opportunities in the region. As the audiovisual industry continues to evolve, with streaming platforms and international co-productions on the rise, Zamora's leadership and expertise will be crucial in navigating the complex landscape and identifying new avenues for growth. The fact that she will remain on the Board of Directors of Iberofic ensures that her vision for a thriving Spanish-language audiovisual sector will continue to shape the industry's trajectory.

As the industry looks to the future, it's clear that Latin America will play an increasingly important role in shaping the global audiovisual narrative. With Zamora at the helm, we can expect to see a continued focus on promoting diverse voices and stories from the region. To watch next: the upcoming edition of the Costa Rica Media Market, which promises to bring together industry professionals from across the region to explore new trends, partnerships, and opportunities in the audiovisual sector.
