Filming in Brazil

Filming in Brazil has many benefits, for many reasons.

– Variety of locations: Beaches, rain forests, deserts, mountains… We have it all! You name it, we have it…

– Financially interesting, filming in Brazil can be 1/3 of the cost, compared to United States or Europe.

With the exception of journalistic productions, all foreign audiovisual productions are subject to mandatory prior notification to ANCINE (National Film Agency).

The foreign producer must enter into partnership with a Brazilian producer that must be registered at ANCINE (Brazilian Cinema Agency), who will report to that agency on the foreign producer’s behalf. In addition to acting as a channel of communication with ANCINE, the Brazilian company is responsible for ensuring compliance to the legislation and for providing assistance for customs clearance of equipment as well as other forms of assistance. Ancine will also forward all the necessary information to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which will then authorize the consulates to issue the temporary working visas.

In addition, all productions must also obtain permission to film from local (state, city) authorities. Additional authorizations are also required, like when you are using a minor in your production, or a Native American (Indian). Production equipment can be brought by the foreign company, or be rented in Brazil (good quality equipment available).
