Requests for records of co-productions between Brazil and other countries — how “The Secret Agent” e “I’m Still Here” — they jumped 150% between 2023 and 2025, according to data from Ancine (National Cinema Agency).
In 2023, there were registered 56 orders; in 2024, 119; and in 2025, 140. In the Agency’s view, the advance “evidences a significant expansion of independent Brazilian production in the scenario of international co-productions and, consequently, in the global market”.
This “request” is RCPI (Provisional Recognition of International Coproduction). Through it, the Brazilian producer informs about the negotiation of an international co-production and its intention to raise public and private resources in Brazil for its realization.
According to Ancine, between 2023 and 2025, 124 works independent Brazilian companies under a co-production regime.
In the historical series, with data from 2002 onwards, the main international partners of Brazilian audiovisual are Portugalwith 109 works carried out, Francewith 98, and the Argentinacom 95.
While the film starring Wagner Moura, which won two Golden Globe awards, is a co-production with France, Germany and the Netherlands, Fernanda Torres’ acting film is also a partnership with the French.
