Projeto Paradiso, operated by the Olga Rabinovich Institute, has renewed its partnership with Buenos Aires’ Ventana Sur, backed by Cannes Festival and Film Market and Argentina’s INCAA film-TV agen…
“Ventana Sur is a very important hub for the Latin American cinema and after the pandemic we understood that it would be important to optimize trips and traveling to make much easier for the people who want to come to BrLab to combine this with their trip to Buenos Aires,” he added.
BR Lab and Ventana Sur are working on “some programming together,” said Sampaio. “The intention is to co-operate more and establish more points of connections between Brazil and Argentina and to bring more professionals in South America.”Brings a Delegation of Black Women Brazilian Producers to Cannes Sponsored by Open Society Foundations, Instituto Ibirapitanga, and Instituto Goethe/Hilfsfonds and with institutional support from Projeto Paradiso, the Nicho Executiva program brought a delegation of seven Black Brazilian women producers to Cannes Marché du Film via its Nicho 54 institute, led by Nicho 54 co-founder Fernanda Lomba and award-winning producer Joelma Gonzaga , who serves as program co-ordinator. Nicho Executiva participants take in Rio de Janeiro’s Emanuela Barboza and Yolanda Barroso, Tocantins’ Cláudia Roberta and Daiane Rosário and Flávia Santana, both based in Bahia. Launched in February, the program is focused on the role of executive production for the film industry at large. “Through theoretical and practical learning, the program devises a unique methodology deploying resources, knowledge and strategies crafted exclusively to the Black community in Brazil,” Nicho 54 said in a statement. “Nicho Executiva establishes markers with the goal to both contribute to the learning journey of the participants and to strengthen leadership skills for Black women,” it added. “Attending industry events of such level is extremely important for the development of the careers of the producers from Nicho Executiva,” argued Lomba, the program curator. “It is an opportunity to immerse the delegation in a creative and active environment that facilitates connecting players from multiple countries. It helps expand the participants’ network, as well as forging professional relationships.” “Increasing the number of Black women as leaders in creative and executive processes within the industry is no small accomplishment. It entails reshaping a structure that has rendered invisible a diverse range of voices in storytelling and image-creation,” Gonzaga added.
