About Us

The Puerto Rico Film Commission was established as part of the public policy of the Government of Puerto Rico to promote the development of the film and audiovisual industry on the Island.

Its modern foundation was established through Act No. 121 of August 17, 2001, which created the Corporation for the Development of the Arts, Sciences, and Film Industry of Puerto Rico, an entity attached to the Department of Economic Development and Commerce.

Since then, the structure of incentives and support programs for the industry has evolved through various laws, including economic incentive legislation and, more recently, the Puerto Rico Incentives Code (Act 60 of 2019), which consolidated the programs for the creative industries.
