In October 2026, several audiovisual initiatives were announced in Argentina and Paraguay. The National Institute of Audiovisual Paraguay (INAP) and Argentina’s National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts (INCAA) launched a co-development contest for 2026. This program seeks to integrate the film industries of both nations by providing $35,000 stimulus funds to four selected projects in the fiction, documentary, or animation feature film categories.

Simultaneously, Argentina announced regional film activities. In Tucumán, the fourth edition of the PLUM! international animation film festival was organized to decentralize cultural industries by offering workshops and project laboratories in the Northwest. Additionally, the Castelar Film Festival in Buenos Aires province opened calls for Argentine short films across various genres.
