For the third consecutive year, CPFL Energia proudly sponsors another edition of It´s All True – International Documentary Film Festival. This is the second time that medium-length and feature films compete for the CPFL ENE RGIA / IT´S ALL TRUE Award “A Window to Contemporary Documentary”, the largest Brazilian incentive award to the documentary genre. Last year, our partnership with It´s All True allowed the festival to be extended to the city of Campinas, in São Paulo State, and to Rio Grande do Sul State. For 2008, two new Brazilian cities will be added to the list: Caxias do Sul and Bauru.

By means of its cultural enhancement policy, in 2006 CPFL Energia partnered up with the It´s All True Festival with the purpose of transforming information into knowledge through the exhibition of documentaries that provide multifarious views of the world expressed in a wide variety of languages.

To CPFL Energia, investing in culture means much more than financing cultural and artistic production. It is an effective way to help society develop a more consistent and integrated view of the contemporary world, while also engaging in successful social intervention alternatives. Begun in 2003, CPFL Energia’s comprehensive cultural program comprises approximately 500 activities yearly encompassing several fields of knowledge and the arts. These activities seek to promote socially responsible and sustainable practices, and many of them are broadcast weekly by Cultura TV in São Paulo State.

At a moment when information glut overwhelms our thinking, documentary cinema emerges as a powerful ally for the understanding of the most complex issues of our time. It is within this guiding framework that CPFL Energia fully champions such an important initiative as It´s All True.
