In this troubled moment that we are all going through in the country and in the
world, the audiovisual sector demonstrates its strength and power. It gained un-
precedented relevance as a form of entertainment and information.
Audiovisual works are the result of collective work of creative and technical minds
on a great range of screens. Each country has its own way of encouraging produc-
tion through different sources of financing. In Brazil, public incentive mechanisms
are the main source of funding that urges, stimulates and attracts private capital as
investment and / or sponsorship.
In the middle of all the changes in the public policies priorities for culture and espe-
cially audiovisual, we are suffering the irreparable adversities of a global pandemic
and also the disruptive technological transformation in the distribution and enjoy-
ment of audiovisual content.
This is the context for the appearance of this unprecedented initiative, a partnership
among Brazilian Content, Cinema do Brasil and Projeto Paradiso: “SHOW ME THE
FUND”, a roadmap exclusively produced for Brazilian players that unveils the first
and fundamental link in the production chain: the financing agents.
We truly hope that this material opens up new opportunities and strategies to struc-
ture your projects economically and financially.

The Foundation supports young film and video makers to direct a documentary film on
the theme of rights and freedoms, including social and economic rights, women’s rights,
and the right to culture and artistic creation. The Foundation particularly supports doc-
umentary films that “dare to go against the tide, that take the side of the defenceless
and question common assumptions by giving a voice to the voiceless, enriching our un-
derstanding of the world and helping us reflect on the possibility of changing the world
from a perspective of peace, justice, equality and respect for differences.”
