Noticiero Mujer, Hoy

Starting in 1972, Law 19327 came into effect in Peru. Its main feature was the mandatory exhibition of Peruvian films, which had to accompany feature films in daily screenings across all cinemas in the country. This provision enabled film students, as well as professionals already working in production and filmmaking, to create their own works—generating both employment and a learning environment. Many of today’s established filmmakers began their careers under the opportunities provided by this law. MUJER, HOY (WOMAN, TODAY), composed of four short films also with three segments each and a total runtime of approximately five minutes, was shot on 35mm color film. It was one of the first newsreels to focus exclusively on cultural content. The diverse appearances and contributions of notable figures in MUJER, HOY collections represent a valuable resource for researchers across various disciplines.
