Brazilian producers’ growing interest in co-production was under the spotlight at this year’s RioMarket, held alongside the Rio International Film Festival.
Although a co-production treaty between Brazil and the Us is unlikely - the Americans don’t have a central regulatory agency for the audiovisual industry like in other countries - there are possibilities for collaboration between the two countries.
In one seminar at the RioMarket, New York-based media lawyer W. Wilder Knight II suggested that documentaries could be a field where producers could come together “if there is a subject of common interest”.
It was suggested that finance could be raised through crowd sourcing, although he admitted the culture of giving seems to have more of a tradition in the Us - where 80-90% of Americans give to charity at least once each year - compared to Brazil where culture has always been heavily subsidised. Direct investment in Brazil doesn’t have a long tradition...

Blu-ray Review
Knight and Day
Directed by: James Mangold
Cast: Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Peter Sarsgaard
Running Time: 1 hr 50 min
Rating: PG-13
Due Out: November 30, 2010
Plot: A rogue secret agent (Cruise) becomes entangled with a car restorer (Diaz) and the two end up on the run together.
Who’S It For? The film cast’s the net wide, it’s an action-romantic-comedy so pretty much anyone who likes one of those genres.
Movie:
I don’t hate Tom Cruise but I’ve never understood the fascination he holds for other women either. He’s not a bad actor and he picks some good projects but I’ve never gone to see a film because he was in it. From the previews, this film looked like a by-the-numbers romantic comedy. I was wrong about that, at least for the first half of the film. From almost the beginning, Knight and Day is off and running,...
