Bravo Lab is the festival’s training and connection program — a strategic front created to expand the international presence of underrepresented Brazilian talents and prepare them to engage with the global industry.
“We are committed to opening doors for Brazilian independent filmmakers.”
In partnership with institutions such as SPCine, APAN, Projeto Paradiso, and companies like Netflix, Disney, Warner, Amazon, NBCUniversal, Tubi, Macro Agency, and Array, the Lab offers:
Mentorships with international professionals
Workshops and panels with studio leaders
One-on-one meetings with North American industry players
Training exchanges focused on screenwriting, pitching, co-production, and distribution
The Lab also prioritizes strengthening diversity in audiovisual content, with a focus on filmmakers who are:
Black
Indigenous
LGBTQIA+
Women
People with disabilities
Representatives of traditional communities
Bravo Lab does more than train — it positions new talent.
It builds the bridge between Brazilian creativity and the key players of the global film industry.
