Describe the main features of the policy/measure:
The Audiovisual Gera Futuro program was launched in 2018 to fund audiovisual productions through public calls with resources provided by the Audiovisual Sector Fund. The investments covered all links in the value chain of the audiovisual sector.
11 public calls for proposals were made aiming to invest in audiovisual production, with emphasis on: 1) independent productions of animated feature films, short films, and series with narratives for children; 2) two distinct lines of documentaries, one for childhood and youth and the other on Afro-Brazilian and indigenous issues; 3) production of electronic games and transmedia projects. All public calls had specific quotas for new directors, directors of regions outside the Rio de Janeiro-São Paulo axis, afro-Brazilians, indigenous people, and women. The program also includes the promotion of exhibitions, festivals, and events related to the audiovisual market, totalizing 85 events.

The “Audiovisual Gera Futuro” program contributed to the strengthening of the sector's production chain, incentivizing companies, and developers to enter the market with better prepared projects. The program considered the sale of audiovisual products, which goes beyond movie theaters, with a myriad of possibilities for circulation and the study of products on video platforms on-demand, and television networks (open and cable). Also, all public calls promoted inclusion aiming to reduce inequalities in the audiovisual sector.
