Tito Catacora is a Peruvian director, producer, screenwriter, and cinematographer based in southern Peru. A close collaborator and uncle of the late Óscar Catacora, he holds a degree in education and a master’s in intercultural education.

From Acora in the Puno region, Tito worked inseparably with Óscar since their early short films. He produced and served as cinematographer on Óscar’s debut Eternity (2017), the first Peruvian feature in Aymara. They also collaborated on El sendero del chulo (2008).

After Óscar’s death during the 2021 shoot of Yana-Wara (2023), Tito stepped in as director and cinematographer to complete it, honoring his nephew’s vision while bringing his own rational approach to the story of gender violence and Andean spirituality. The film became Peru’s entry for the Oscars and Goyas.

Tito also directed Pakucha (2021), produced and directed Los indomables (2024), and earned two awards with two nominations. In interviews, he champions Aymara language in cinema and critiques persistent issues like forced marriages and corporal punishment in Indigenous communities
