While the Peruvian film industry has not been nearly as prolific as Mexico's, some Peruvian movies produced with the cooperation of Mexican talent in the 1960s and 1970s, such as Bromas S.A., enjoyed regional success. More recently some bestselling novels by Peruvian author and talk show host Jaime Bayly, including No se lo Digas a Nadie and La Mujer de Hermano, have been made into movies. In fact, who ha been perhaps the most importante peruvian filmmaker of the last decades, [Francisco Jose Lombardi], has made most of his films from adaptations of important peruvian authors novels.

Peru also produced the first animated 3-D film in Latin America, Piratas en el Callao. This film is set in the historical port city of Callao, which during colonial times had to defend itself against attacks by Dutch and British privateers seeking to undercut Spain's trade with its colonies. The film was produced by the Peruvian company Alpamayo Entertainment, which made a second 3-D film one year later: Dragones: Destino de Fuego.

In February of 2006, the film Madeinusa, produced as a joint venture between Peru and Spain and directed by Claudia Llosa, which was settled in an imaginary andean village and took elements from Gabriel García Márquez's magic realism, won an award at the Rotterdam Film Festival.
