The scholarship will cover the producer’s participation fee with a project (feature or documentary) for the workshop, as well as the accommodation fees.
André Sturm, Chairman of CINEMA DO BRASIL said: "Cinema do Brasil is very happy to colaborate with EAVE, supporting a Brazilian producer to attend the European Producers Workshop and to be part of this excellent network of professionals. Brazil is looking more and more towards the international market, and having this experience with EAVE will surely contribute to the growth of Brazilian coproductions and its film industry in general"
Kristina Trapp, EAVE’s CEO, welcomes the new partnership: "EAVE is excited about this new partnership with CINEMA DO BRASIL through which we hope to extend our existing network and to include Brazilian professionals to the workshop. Brazil is a strong market with a wealth of talent and we are keen on strengthening the links between European and Brazilian professionals."

About the Cinema do Brasil:
Cinema do Brasil came into existence in 2006 via an initiative of the acting chairman of SIAESP - State of São Paulo's Audiovisual Industry Guild at that time, André Sturm, who received the support of Apex-Brasil - Export and Investments Promotion Agency to implant the Program, which also counts with the institutional support of ANCINE – Brazilian Film Agency.
The goal of Cinema do Brasil is to increase the participation of the Brazilian audiovisual sector in the international market, offering strategic and logistical support to the approximately 140 associated companies so that they can make co-productions and open markets for the distribution of their productions, thereby aggregating value to the image of Brazil´s film industry overseas.
