São Paulo State launches R$ 40 million call for proposals to fund films and series

oglobo15 September 2026 at 08:30

The government of São Paulo opened registrations this Tuesday (15) for a selection process that will allocate R$ 40 million to fund films and series produced in the state. A total of 13 projects will be selected, with transfers of up to R$ 4 million per production.

The initiative is from the Secretariat of Culture, Economy and Creative Industries of the State of São Paulo, carried out in partnership with the National Film Agency (Ancine), with resources from the Audiovisual Sectorial Fund (FSA). Applications are free of charge, close on November 3, and must be submitted through the Fomento CultSP website.

The largest volume of resources will be allocated to the National Production category. Seven feature films will be selected, receiving R$ 4 million each, totaling R$ 28 million. Of these spots, six are for fiction or animation projects and one exclusively for an animation film.

The remaining R$ 12 million will be distributed among six international co-productions, with R$ 2 million for each project. In this modality, fiction or animation productions with a foreign co-producer may compete.

Why this matters

Producers, filmmakers, and companies in São Paulo's audiovisual sector now have a significant opportunity to secure funding for new projects. This call for proposals represents one of the largest recent public investments in Brazil's film industry, potentially boosting local production and creating jobs in the creative sector. The partnership with Ancine suggests that selected projects could gain national visibility and access to broader distribution networks.

Even if the minimum wage in the State rose to 1,030 euros in 2027 it would be "short", says Fesap

The Federation of Public Administration Trade Unions (Fesap) argues that the remuneration base in the public sector should increase beyond 1,030 euros in 2027, considering that this value would still be "short" given workers' needs. General secretary José Abraão argues that the pluriannual agreement in force, which provides for increases of 2.3% (rising from 934.99 to 995.51 euros), was signed in a different economic context and that inflation, potentially above 3%, is causing losses in purchasing power. Fesap will present its claims document for the 2027 State Budget at today's press conference in Lisbon, demanding increases beyond those provided for in the current agreement.
