Due to the importance of cinematographic and audiovisual activity as a general cultural expression of identity and social impact, since it represents a cultural industry of special economic characteristics, since 2006 it began in a concrete way with the creation of a Law that would encourage the film industry in the country, expressing the basic idea that in order to develop it in an important way, there should be incentives and support from the State, mainly to the production of national films because it was of great economic and technical difficulty , and the industry in the country faced deep structural barriers that affected its competitiveness with other audiovisual products internally and abroad. Because of this, and in order to place the Dominican Republic on par with other nations in the region in terms of film production and be one of the main film destinations in the region, legal regulations were created under Law No. 108-10 for the Promotion of Cinematic Activity in the Dominican Republic.
