Pedro Urrutia (born 23 December 1986) is a film director and Dominican publisher.
Pedro Urrutia began working in the film industry after 19 years of working in highly renowned local movie productions in the Dominican Republic. [1] He worked as a post-production assistant, grip, program producer and editor, among other things.
In 2008, just before completing his studies at the Universidad Iberoamericana del Caribe for a degree in advertising communication, he began to apply to film universities abroad. He learned of a grant from director Brett Ratner to study at the New York Film Academy and applied for the grant. The Ratner full scholarship hosted a one-year film-making program for all of 2009.
In 2010, at 23 years old, he returned to the Dominican Republic and founded Ave Studio, a production company specializing in video clips. He was nominated for the 2011 Casandra Awards for the video clip "Vakeró – Que mujer tan chula". In the same year, Pedro Urrutia and Ave Studio's first video clip opened the doors to a voting member of the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences. Because of this, in 2013, the Soberano Awards (previously the Casandra Awards) nominated "Melymel – En Francés" for video clip of the year.
The video clip also went to the national and international level, entering into top international music programming channels, such as Hispanic Television, NBC Universo, MTV, MTV Latin America, MTV Tres, and Ritmoson Latino, among others. In 2012, however, Urrutia changed course and began to work on what he was really passionate about: cinema. He began working on an idea for his debut, Código Paz. In the same year, he created film production company One Alliance, under terms protected by the film laws of the Dominican Republic.
In 2014, Urrutia assumed control of his debut, Código Paz. The film is of the action genre, which is a new to the Dominican cinema; but it had a very good reception from the local public as well as the approval of two important local cinema chains, Caribbean Cinemas and Palacio del Cine. It was the first Dominican film to open simultaneously in theaters nationwide.
Código Paz has allowed a selection of Urrutia's films to represent the Dominican Republic in the 2015 Goya Awards in the Best Latin American Film category. Código Paz was nominated by the José María Forqué Awards 2015 for the Best Latin American Feature category; it was also nominated for the 2014 La Silla Awards, receiving nine awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best, Best Producer, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Sound Design, Best Makeup, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress, thus becoming the most awarded film of the award. Recently, the Dominican Association of Art Historians nominated Código Paz for the Soberano Awards, for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Film Actor and Best Film Actress.

Mexican cinema dates to the late nineteenth century during the rule of President Porfirio Díaz. Seeing a demonstration of short films in 1896, Díaz immediately saw the importance of documenting his presidency in order to present an ideal image of it. With the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, Mexican and foreign makers of silent films seized the opportunity to document its leaders and events. From 1915 onward, Mexican cinema focused on narrative film.
Latin American cinema refers collectively to the film output and film industries of Latin America. Latin American film is both rich and diverse, but the main centers of production have been Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. Latin American cinema flourished after the introduction of sound, which added a linguistic barrier to the export of Hollywood film south of the border.
Ramón Orlando Valoy García, is a Dominican musician, singer, arranger, composer, record producer and songwriter, besides being a gran maestro pianist in Caribbean rhythms.

Nuevo Cine Mexicano, also referred to as New Mexican Cinema is a Mexican film movement started in the early 1990s. Filmmakers, critics, and scholars consider Nuevo Cine Mexicano a "rebirth" of Mexican cinema because of the production of higher-quality films. This rebirth led to high international praise as well as box-office success, unseen since the golden age of Mexican cinema of the 1930s to 1960s. The quality of Mexican films suffered in the decades following the golden age due in part to Mexican audiences watching more overseas films, especially Hollywood productions. This resulted in the rise of Mexican genres such as Luchador films, sexicomedias and ultimately the low-budget direct-to-video Mexploitation film.

Often referenced in music line-ups to delineate a musician's popularity in Hispanic countries. Notable winners include Mozart La Para, Bad Bunny, El Alfa, Prince Royce, La Insuperable, and Don Omar. It airs annually in the spring on Telemicro in the Dominican Republic.
Chilean cinema refers to all films produced in Chile or made by Chileans. It had its origins at the start of the 20th century with the first Chilean film screening in 1902 and the first Chilean feature film appearing in 1910. The oldest surviving feature is El Húsar de la Muerte (1925), and the last silent film was Patrullas de Avanzada (1931). The Chilean film industry struggled in the late 1940s and in the 1950s, despite some box-office successes such as El Diamante de Maharajá. The 1960s saw the development of the "New Chilean Cinema", with films like Three Sad Tigers (1968), Jackal of Nahueltoro (1969) and Valparaíso mi amor (1969). After the 1973 military coup, film production was low, with many filmmakers working in exile. It increased after the end of the Pinochet regime in 1989, with occasional critical and/or popular successes such as Johnny cien pesos (1993), Historias de Fútbol (1997) and Gringuito (1998).
