1BRAZILIANFILMFESTIVAL.comDear auDience,The Innito Brazilian Film Festival is one of the longest-running and most signicant cultural events in the cities of Miami, Miami Beach, and New York. The festival has been held for 28 consecutive years. It has created numerous business opportunities, boosted the economies of participating cities, and celebrated the rich diversity and creativity of Brazi-lian audiovisual content. The excitement of organi-zing this festival for so many years is matched only by the satisfaction of seeing Brazilian cinema gain recognition both in Brazil and globally.The history of the Festival is intertwined with the history of Brazilian cinema itself, which has faced challenges and triumphed over the years. One of the recent achievements to be celebrated is the approval of the Lei de Cota de Telas, (Screen Quota Law), which guarantees reserved space for the pre-sence of national cinema in theaters on the Brazi-lian commercial circuit, meaning more visibility and opportunities for our lms to be seen by audiences in their own country. The sector has undergone sig-nicant transformation over the past 28 years, inclu-ding a shift in how we watch movies. The arrival of streaming platforms, the majority of which are fo-reign, has become the primary means of accessing content globally. Brazil, a country with continental dimensions, is the second largest consumer of l-ms and series via streaming, with 31 million hou-seholds registered. In light of this transformation, numerous countries have already regulated stre-aming; however, Brazil has yet to do so. We have two bills in the House of Representatives and the Senate, respectively, proposing taxing major Inter-national streaming services to help promote natio-nal productions. This regulation aims to protect our independent productions and uphold copyright for Brazilian creators and producers.The Innito Brazilian Film Festival continues to play an active role in all the transformations oc-curring in our sector, making history along the way. In this issue, we pay tribute to Renata Al-meida Magalhães, an iconic gure in the Brazi-lian market who represents our organization in all its dimensions. We are presenting concerts by Larissa Luz and Alcione at SummerStage in Central Park, New York, and Fernanda Abreu at the Miami Beach Bandshell. Additionally, 105 lms will be shown in New York, and Miami with in-person and virtual screenings available at inff.online for the entire United States, from Puerto Rico to Alaska.We are a platform dedicated to celebrating and valuing Brazilian audiovisual content in all its diversity, where stories, emotions, and unique experiences are shared with the audience. Attending the Innito’s festivals represents a unique opportunity to view a lm. The magic of a giant screen in a darkened room, meeting up with friends, discussing the lm’s themes, and socializing with directors and actors is now enhanced by the availability of numerous options on home screens.The Innito Brazilian Film Festival, now ne-aring its third decade, stands as a symbol of both resilience and renewal. It serves as a con-duit for connecting people, and cultures, and bringing out the best that cinematographic art has to offer.enjoy! Innito Brazilian Film Festival is on its way to 30 years. Are you coming?AdriAnA L. dutrA, CLáudiA dutrA, ViViAne B. SpineLLi Directors of Innito Brazilian Film FestivalWELCOME1BRAZILIANFILMFESTIVAL.com

2BRAZILIANFILMFESTIVAL.comIn 2024, the year in which Brazil and the United States celebrate 200 years of diplomatic relations, the Innito Brazilian Film Festival will be present in New York for another year of its history. Innito is a key project for promoting contemporary Brazilian cinema abroad: an initiative of strategic importance for strengthening Brazil’s cultural identity, promoting our national lm industry and encouraging artistic exchanges between Brazil and the United States. The pioneering spirit of the festival’s organizers, who created the project decades ago, has enabled Brazilian audiovisual productions to reach North American audiences. Also noteworthy is the resilience of the Innito organizers, who have managed to adapt to technological changes, to the evolution of consumer habits and to the constant nancial and logistical challenges of carrying out a large-scale cultural project. The promotion of Brazilian cinema in New York highlights the visibility of national production in one of the CONSuLATE LETTERmost important cultural centers in the world. By presenting lms that portray Brazil’s cultural, social and geographic diversity, it contributes for the understanding of Brazil in a more authentic way, beyond stereotypes. With an extensive network of lm professionals, Innito puts Brazilian cinema in the spotlight of international distributors, producers and investors, which can generate new business opportunities for the Brazilian lm industry. It is with great pleasure that the Consulate General of Brazil in New York is a partner in another edition of the Innito Film Festival, a very successful initiative throughout its history, which has presented and should continue to present - the best of Brazilian cinema to international audiences. Sincerely,New York, August 5, 2024

Pondering a powerful discourse of empowerment, ancestry and Afrofuturism, a native of Salvador understands that the possibilities of expression and existence are multiple and complex.The messages can be disseminated through various channels, including albums such as Território Conquistado (2016), which was nominated for a Latin Grammy, Trovão (2019), and her most recent EP Deusa Dulov (2021), which was acclaimed at Brazil’s largest music festivals (Lollapalooza, Rock in Rio, Meca Inhotim and Afropunk Bahia).

Additionally, her discourse from 2021 and 2022, as a curator, is noteworthy. Being responsible for the line-up of the Brazilian edition of Afropunk, one of the world’s leading black culture events. The plurality and consistency of the messages incorporated in the singer’s career have also led to partnerships with brands such as AVON, Nike, Hering and Bradesco Bank. With a restless ambition to pursue what is next to come, Larissa Luz embodies the spirit of Angela Davis’s famous quote: “When black women move, the whole structure of society moves with them.”aUG 22ND - THURSDaY | 7:20 Pm17

In 2020, prior to the onset of the pandemic, she toured Europe: Zurich (Switzerland), Stuttgart (Germany), Paris (France), Milan (Italy), Ovar and Lisbon (Portugal). During the months of social isolation, she did a series of lives, that collectively had millions of views. After four years, the transition from “Eu Sou a Marrom” to “Tijolo Por Tijolo” included an unreleased released CD and the release of the award-winning documentary “O Samba é Primo do Jazz,” (in partnership with Documenta Filmes).In 2022, she recorded an audiovisual project alluding to the 50th anniversary of her recording career on the stage of the Municipal Theater in Rio de Janeiro and toured Europe again: London (England), Lisbon, Porto, Águeda and Madeira Island (Portugal).On Marrom´s birthday, November 21st, the “Alcione Medal” was launched, the highest commendation of cultural merit in the state of Rio de Janeiro in honor of samba. Instituted by Governor Cláudio Castro and the State Secretary of Culture and Creative Economy, Danielle Barros. December was a month of notable achievements for Marrom, as she, not only performed another season of shows at Casa 70 in Luanda, Angola, but also graced the cover of Vogue magazine.The year 2023 was also very special for its signicance, as it was designated as the theme of the Brazilian Music Prize (Alcione Year) and she was announced as the storyline for the 2024 Carnival of Estação Primeira de Mangueira, with the theme “A Negra Voz do Amanhã”! (The Black Voice of Tomorrow).An artist adored by audiences from all walks of life, age groups, social and intellectual classes, Alcione has already made her name on numerous pages of the history of our best popular music. Her work, eclectic and devoid of musical prejudices, nds an unfailing connection with the people (she’s damn proud to be a popular singer!). For all of the above and so many other qualities - musical and personal - Alcione is a distinguished and emblematic name. A valiant artist, a warrior, known for her authenticity, competence and unique trajectory. And, taking advantage of one of her most famous catchphrases (yes, she also has a vast repertoire in this regard) “Alcione is not and will never be just anyone”.19BRAZILIANFILMFESTIVAL.com
