Chile

Film Commission Chile

Comisión Fílmica de Chile

National Film Commission · Santiago

The national body that promotes Chile as a filming destination and facilitates international shoots, relaunched in 2025 with ProChile under the Ministry of Cultures' audiovisual council. The first stop for any production — including action work — bringing a foreign crew into Chile, and the gateway to the CORFO-administered cash rebate.

CAIA — Ministry of Cultures

Consejo del Arte y la Industria Audiovisual

Audiovisual Council & Fund · Chile

The sectoral council that develops, funds and protects the Chilean audiovisual industry, running the Fondo de Fomento Audiovisual and the national audiovisual policy. Its board includes a CORFO representative and an actors' representative. The CORFO / IFI cash rebate (up to ~30% of qualifying spend, more outside Santiago) is the headline reason international action productions consider Chile.

Chileactores

Corporación de Actores y Actrices de Chile

Performers' Rights Body · Santiago

The collecting society that protects and administers the intellectual-property rights of audiovisual performers in Chile, securing and distributing residual payments. The most relevant rights organisation for any on-screen performer, including stunt and action actors, who are legally treated as performers.

SIDARTE

Sindicato de Actores y Actrices de Chile

Actors' Union · Santiago

Founded 1967, Chile's actors' union (2,000+ members), advancing performers' labour rights across theatre and the audiovisual sector — suggested minimum fees, a casting portal and member welfare. There is no dedicated stunt-performers' union in Chile, so screen-action workers fall under the general actors' bodies.

SINTECI

Sindicato Nacional de Profesionales y Técnicos del Cine y Audiovisual

Technicians' Union (incl. SFX) · Santiago

Founded 1994 with national jurisdiction, the crew-side union grouping film and advertising technicians across Production, Camera, Art, Special Effects, Sound and Grips, affiliated to UNI-MEI. With no dedicated stunt guild, action-effects technicians sit here — the closest screen-crew union touching the stunt/effects discipline. (Site live but mid-rebuild; contact [email protected].)

Stunt Factory CL

Stunt Team · Santiago

The clearest example of a working Chilean stunt team with an active public presence — regular fight, fall, fire and rigging content, presenting itself as a dedicated dobles-de-riesgo / especialistas outfit for film and advertising under the tagline “La calidad no se improvisa”. Social-only (Instagram); listed honestly as real and active.

Stuntman.cl

Dobles de Riesgo · Santiago

A second self-identified Chilean film-stunt presence working as dobles de riesgo, posting genuine screen-stunt material including full-body fire burns. Social-only (Instagram/Facebook); listed alongside Stunt Factory CL as evidence that Chile's stunt community, while small, is real. (Distinct from the unrelated “stunt.chile” outdoor-accessories brand.)

Essence Parkour Santiago

Parkour / Movement School · Santiago

An established urban parkour school for children, youth and adults in Santiago — responsible parkour, conditioning and freerunning fundamentals. Chile has no stunt-specific academy, so parkour and movement schools are the realistic local feeder for the agility, falling and spatial-control skills that underpin screen action. One of the longest-running, with online booking.

AVEX Movement

Parkour & Calisthenics · Santiago

A parkour and calisthenics academy offering classes for all levels — freerunning, urban gymnastics and functional training. Like Essence, a movement feeder rather than a stunt school, but the discipline mix is directly transferable to action performance. A second verified training pathway given the absence of any dedicated Chilean stunt academy.
