Peru

Peruvian cinema is small and often regional, with strong Andean and Amazon identities. Claudia Llosa won the Golden Bear for The Milk of Sorrow, a film built around memory of political violence and the wounds that women carry, and showed how the country's history can be told with magical-realist imagery.
