A pre-event tour showcases Medellín as a possible hub for international productions
Cinemotion Labs will precede its 2026 conference with an exclusive location-scouting tour of Medellín on Monday, August 10, as they position the Colombian city as a production base for the international content industry. The tour targets producers, directors, creative agencies, audiovisual companies, and investors, and is capped at 40 participants.
The route takes in settings that have drawn national and international productions, including the El Perpetuo Socorro creative district, downtown Medellín, and the heritage neighborhood of Prado. Organizers frame it as a look at real filming locations, production opportunities, and the local audiovisual ecosystem, alongside the competitive advantages the city offers for film, series, commercials, and digital content.
The experience bundles transportation, a specialized guide, and cross-border networking, which the organizers position as a way to seed collaboration and new projects across the value chain.
“We want attendees to experience the industry beyond the conferences,” said Verónica Marín, project manager of Cinemotion Labs. “This tour will let them see why Medellín has established itself as an attractive setting for international-caliber audiovisual productions, and at the same time build connections that can turn into future partnerships and projects.”
The tour is not available on its own; it is reserved for those who register for the Cinemotion Labs academic program, and participation is limited to 40 people. The El Perpetuo Socorro district is Medellín’s first Área de Desarrollo Naranja (Orange Development Area), a designation tied to the city’s creative-economy incentives.
For media and content operations weighing where to base production, the tour reflects a wider trend of secondary markets competing on location, talent, and cost. Registration and further details are available through the Cinemotion Labs website.
