Argentina: Altana Films
Altana Films is a full service production company for TV commercials, TV shows, feature films, still photography, music videos and documentary productions. The majority of the company's projects are shot in Buenos Aires as the city is highly cosmopolitan in architectural terms, with echoes of Paris, Madrid, New York, Barcelona and more to be found downtown and on the outskirts.
Argentina offers a wealth of location possibilities with Patagonia, glaciers, waterfalls, snowy European-style Alps and lakes, jungle and Mexican landscapes to the North providing just a taster of what is on offer. Talent is possibly the most diverse in the world thanks to the country's huge ethnic diversity.
Compared to other countries in the Southern Hemisphere Argentina provides some of the best alternatives for locations and talent. With 17 years of experience, Altana Films is committed to providing excellence in film production support by understanding the needs of each individual project, quickly and proactively delivering results and seeking full client satisfaction every time.
