Participants in Forum Brasil – International TV Market have a unique opportunity to show their productions to exactly the right audience: free-to-air and pay TV channels, Brazilian distributors, and international distributors. This is a great chance to close profitable deals in sales, pre-sales, co-production and commissioning.

This year’s edition of Forum Brasil presents an important novelty: Discovery Channel/Forum Brasil Pitchings, where a documentary project will be selected to receive US$20,000 in development funding.

In addition, the traditional Forum Brasil Pitchings will select the best animation and TV show projects.

At the Screenings you will be able to exhibit your productions in fully automated individual booths and after the event receive details of the people who watched them.

Fifteen TV projects – five documentaries, five animations and five series – have been selected to take part in Forum Brasil Pitchings.

Those in the Pitching Discovery / Forum Brasil are running for a US$ 20,000 prize for the best documentary project, sponsored by Discovery Channel. Candidates will present an oral defense of their projects during Forum’s closing session, on June 5th.

Those selected for animation and series pitchings will present their projects before a specialized jury, formed by channel executives and national and international distributors. The winners will receive the Forum Brazil trophy.
