The 1st Annual Hollywood Brazilian Film Festival

The 1st Annual Hollywood Brazilian Film Festival and Film Market will take place January 28th –31st, 2009 at Mann’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood and is currently accepting Film and Script submissions.
The Hollywood Brazilian Film Festival and Film Market was created to bridge the gap between Hollywood, The World Film Community and the Brazilian Film Community. The festival creates unparalleled business and creative opportunities for diverse communities. Brazil developed in the recent past an incentive program fostering international co productions and fiscal rebates for local filming of international films.
HBRFEST is the first Hollywood-based film festival dedicated to addressing the cultural and commercial exchange between Hollywood, The World Film Community and the Brazilian Film Community, also promoting seminars and meetings for film industry executives, producers, distributors and film commissions. Among recent American films recently shot at least partially in Brazil are Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Incredible Hulk and Blindness. Recent prominent Brazilian films are the Berlin Festival winner Elite Squad and the Best Actress Cannes winner this year, Walter Salles’ Linha de Passe.
