Oct 1

Anna Karina de Carvalho reports live from the opening of the 28th Festival do Rio on October 1. The festival runs through October 11 with 359 titles and more than one hundred Brazilian films in Premiere Brasil. The opening Spanish film A Bola Preta is described as that year's Cannes directing-prize winner; the Disney Amyr Klink production 100 Dias is among forthcoming premieres. An embedded package explains the audiovisual production chain and Rio Market's business meetings, with Walkiria Barbosa describing online rounds involving more than nine countries. It reports Brazil's market position, employment and 2024 economic figures attributed to Oxford Economics and the Motion Picture Association, and describes existing funding mechanisms and a briefly mentioned MDIC industry programme. Bruna Linzmeyer explains that the industry sustains her work and announces her writing/directing debut at this festival with A Casa de Dona Carlota, about women's football before its 1941 prohibition. The film's premiere is prospective, not a completed screening.
