The association would implement Peru's first promotional state awards festival with six feature-length projects and 48 short films recognized annually. The film festival system was strengthened with the law as a jury of specialists will award and merit those films that promote the values of Peru. However unexpected urban attacks to Peru reduced cinematographic enthusiasm in the 1900s. Despite setbacks, the spirit of the film industry was still intact, as the short film industry felt compelled by the new film law to direct new films. As a result, the CONACINE festival saw 29 short films in November 1996, 20 shorts in February 1997, 27 in August 1998 and 36 in September 1998.
