What is venezuelan movie?

Venezuelan cinema has a long history dating back to the 1890s, but it wasn't until the 1950s and 60s that it began to gain recognition internationally. The country has produced a number of notable filmmakers, including Margot Benacerraf, who won the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d'Or in 1959 for her film Araya.

More recent Venezuelan films have sought to address contemporary social and political issues, such as the country's economic crisis and its attendant social upheavals. Examples include the films Pelo Malo (2013) about a young boy who wants to straighten his hair, but is denied by his mother, which touches on issues of gender and sexuality, and La Casa del Fin de Los Tiempos (2013), a horror film that explores themes of family, tradition, and beliefs.

Other notable Venezuelan films include El Silencio de los Fusiles (2017), a documentary about Colombia's peace negotiations with the FARC guerrillas, and Azul y No Tan Rosa (2012), which won the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards. Despite the challenges faced by the Venezuelan film industry due to economic and political instability, it continues to produce innovative and thought-provoking films.
