I CINE FEST BAHIA
– International Audiovisual Festival
|
|
“The most cinematographic city in Brazil
deserved an International film festival.”
It is with this strategic vision that “Inffinito
Events and Productions,” “Orient Films”
and “Bahia Network” organized the
1st
Cine Fest Bahia, which will add the State
of Bahia to the route of film festivals, strengthening
the local cinema industry even more.
Cine Fest Bahia will be the first international
film festival to be held in Salvador with the
support of local government. 100 movies will be
shown, divided in 9 exhibits from 26 countries,
and with 200 national and international guests.
In addition to showing the movies in 24 movie
theaters in the city, the Festival will have an
outdoors structure for playing national movies
for free. The main objective is to integrate the
local community to the Brazilian cultural product.
The event will also offer free workshops in order
to give the community professional education.
In addition, seminars and workshops delivered
by renowned professionals will be offered, aiming
for involving the community and cinema students
in the market.
“Cine Fest Bahia” will also enable
the encounter professional in the Brazilian audiovisual
industry with international guests, encouraging
the cultural and professional exchange among the
countries involved. The end of the event will
take place at the renowned Theater “Castro
Alves” with international music shows, broadcasted
live by Bahia Network.
Despite being the most cinematographic state
in Brazil, Bahia has not had such a big festival.
“Cine Fest Bahia” will fill in this
gap, offering an exchange among authorities and
audiovisual world-market representatives, tourism
growth and international visibility, commercial
contracts between Brazilian professionals and
Latin America, Europe and the United States, prospective
co-producers and exposure for Brazil as a location
to attract international producers.
“Cine Fest Bahia will contribute for the
consolidation of Brazil as a great audiovisual
producer, besides taking part in the citizenship
education and social inclusion,” says Adriana
Dutra, Inffinito’s associate director.
