In 2017, Festival do Rio screened 75 Brazilian films during the festival, including 59 features and 16 shorts.

“In recent years, Première Brasil has expanded its reach, opening space for Brazilian films in the New Trends and Portraits sidebars. This year the quality of films and the diversity of themes has allowed us to pick Brazilian films to screen in other sections of the festival such as the Panorama, Midnight Movies, Unique Itineraries, Frontiers, Latin Première, Expectations and Generations,” explained Ilda Santiago, the festival executive director, along with Walkiria Barbosa.

Brazilian films that screened outside of Première Brasil’s main competitive section and New Trends included:
