Brazil Incentives Dry up, Strangling Film Production

Producers are still waiting to receive approved incentives.

Independent productions are being strangled by the freeze. “It’s bleeding cinema, it’s bleeding culture. There is a sense of doom, an anemia regarding culture and cinema,” says Karim Aïnouz, director of “Invisible Life of Euridice Gusmão.”On Feb. 19, a proposal will be voted on in congress that extinguishes existing public funds not ratified by the end of the year via the enactment of a constitutional amendment.

Secondly, people will be looking for angel organizations such as Project Paradise, an initiative funded by the Brazilian philanthropy organization Olga Rabinovich institute, which supports 11 films at this year’s Berlin Film Festival. São Paulo’s Spcine, for instance, has provided financial support for four films at this year’s festival. The region saw a 96% increase in productions receiving backing between 2017 and 2019 .
