Over the past decades, tertiary and university degrees related to audiovisual media have been created in Argentina. This article is interested in inquiring about this process in the provinces that constitute Patagonia, which has not only provided new filmmaker courses outside geographic-political centers such as Buenos Aires, but it has also encouraged regional film production. Thus, we identified three moments in the process of historical development of educational institutions in the region: 1) from 1960 to 1989, characterized by an offer linked to audiovisual production, but with minimal or no specific training, 2) from 1990 to 2009, when the first specific film and audiovisual study courses emerged, but concentrated in only one province and, 3) from 2010 to 2020, a decade in which educational spaces proliferated, guaranteeing at least one institution for each province of the region. We hypothesize that this growth in educational institutions is linked to the need to boost the regional economy, and to the execution of national and sub-national policies aimed at decentralizing and promoting the activity.
