RIOFILME IS AN AUDIOVISUAL investment company of the City of Rio de Janeiro. Our mission is to stimulate the development of the audiovisual industry of Rio, considering the various links in its value chain, different production and screening platforms and the economic and social impacts of the sector on the city. The central objective is to consolidate Rio as the principal audiovisual hub of Latin America.

RioFilme makes repayable investments in the production and distribution of films and TV series and the expansion of screening venues through direct investments and Funcine Rio 1; and non-repayable investments in the development of film and TV series projects, strategic sectorial events, high level training, attracting international productions and expanding access of the local population to the consumption of audiovisual content.

RioFilme invested R$ 21.2 million throughout 2011. This is 19 times more than what was invested in 2008 and an increase of R$ 2.7 million in relation to 2010. There was also an important rise in the number of supported projects, which went from 22 in 2008 to 95 in 2011, and in the reach of events sponsored by RioFilme (781,000 participants in 2011 compared to 543,000 in 2009).

It's All True Festival has already consolidated itself as the largest event dedicated to the documentary genre. It is an important event for the sector, essential for forming audiences and promoting a genre that grows every year, thanks much to production technology that is becoming better and more accessible. And RioFilme is proud to sponsor It's All True for the sixth consecutive year.
