Reconocemos al cooperativismo como el modo de gestión para la producción audiovisual comprometida con procesos sociales y comunitarios. Fomentamos un espacio de colaboración, a través del cual se puedan viabilizar muchos de nuestros proyectos individuales que han quedado estancados por falta de apoyos económicos, institucionales y sobre todo de tiempo y equipo humano.
