ARTS, MOVIES & TV

Panama is itself a work of art, thanks to its blend of American, European, Caribbean, and African influences. Panama, a “quilted” culture, rich in tradition and arts ranging from indigenous molas to modern frescoes and folkloric dresses, while the city is a tropical backdrop filled with restorations, skyscrapers, street murals and moving art that depicts imaginary styles of favourite idols, family, and community struggles -an untraditional form that paints society.

Today, the city boasts digital billboards that seek to promote a range of information from theatrical plays, concerts, festivals, television series and movies, a much more modernized way to get information across to society, in particular to those not on the social media grid or who would otherwise not have access to the information.

The fusion of technology and talent has paved the way for the art industry to materialise tradition and culture in such a way that can be appreciated in various forms, for example, theatrical plays and films which often portray the constant struggle of minorities, problematic life in the city, the search for one’s identity, and unresolved past events, while exploring numerous sociocultural issues on the isthmus.

Come hear what leaders in the industry are doing to expose how arts, television, and movies should not just be about social and economic issues of a country, but should also shine light on a country, that at the junction of two oceans and two continents, is one of the most diverse cities in Latin America and producers of some of the best exportable talents in the region.
