06/06/2025

S o Paulo Film and Audiovisual Company (Spcine) and the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in July 2023, with the objective of establishing cooperation mechanisms aimed at encouraging audiovisual production between Brazil and South Africa.

The partnership between Spcine and NFVF is based on the understanding of the dynamics of the audiovisual markets of S o Paulo and South Africa, with shared historical and cultural ties, especially with regard to the narratives of the African diaspora. In this sense, the actions developed under this agreement seek to stimulate the creation of audiovisualcontent that reflects this connection, promoting exchanges between professionals and expanding opportunities for international co-productions.

To be considered for funding through the Incentive, projects must comply with both Parties' general funding criteria, with the Spcine determining eligibility for the Brazilian portion of a project and NFVF determining eligibility for the South African portion of the project. Projects will be evaluated and chosen by a committee comprised of representatives from each of the Spcine and NFVF through a selective process. It is important for applicants to note that eligibility to or financing through the Incentive does not guarantee the applicant's eligibility or financing for further Spcine or NFVF funding in development or in production. Four (4) successfulprojects will receive US$20,000 each.

Proposals may be submitted under one of the two categories below, according to the stage of development of the audiovisual work:

I) Development Module

Intended for original projects in the creative and technical development phase, including stages such as research, scriptwriting, team definition, production planning, and financing strategy. The goal of this module is to support works at the beginning of their journey that require time and resources for artistic maturation and production feasibility.

1 project from a production company from S o Paulo Brazil will receive USD 20.000,00 (from Spcine call)

1 project from a production company from South Africca will receive USD 20.000,00 (from NFVF call)

II) Work in Progress Module

Intended for audiovisual works in the process of completion or at least with a FIRST CUT completed, already filmed and with editing underway or partially completed. This module aims to support the completion of projects with strong artistic and narrative potential by providing support for their final stages, such as editing, post-production, and sound and image finishing.

1 project from a production company from S o Paulo Brazil will receive USD 20.000,00 (from Spcine call)

1 project from a production company from South Africa will receive USD 20.000,00 (from NFVF call)

The projects must have the African diaspora as their central theme and include at least one (1) Brazilian national professional from S o Paulo city serving as a CREATIVE TEAM HEAD

CREATIVE TEAM HEADS: A Brazilian national professional from S o Paulo city responsible for leading and coordinating the professionals in charge of the artistic and creative decisions of an audiovisual work. This role serves as a link between the various creative departments (direction, art direction, cinematography, sound design, editing, screenwriting, and production), ensuring the aesthetic and narrative cohesion of the project. Their responsibilities include creative supervision, strategic decision-making, and alignment with the conceptual vision of the work.

To receive funding, every project must be approved by both NFVF and the Spcine. The approval process may take the form of evaluation of submissions through a scoring process and include pitches from shortlisted beneficiaries.

Work in progress is defined as audiovisual works that are still in the production or finalisation phase. It can include projects at different stages, such as montage, sound editing, colour correction, or visual effects. The purpose of submitting a work in progress is to seek feedback, partnerships, additional funding, or distribution opportunities before the complete completion of the work.

The South African projects must respect other criteria established by NFVF and the Brazilian projects must respect other criteria established by Spcine.
