The First International Meeting of Cities will take place Aug. 12-14 at the Gramado Film Market and will gather municipal-level authorities from such major towns as Medellín, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Maricá and fest-host Gramado as well as representatives of Brazilian and Ibero-American organizations to discuss how the creative economy — particularly the audiovisual industry — can contribute to social and economic development.

The program will highlight the successful cases of the 2.4-million-strong city of Medellín, Colombia, and Gramado, a tourist town with 40,000 residents in Southern Brazil, said Ralfe Cardoso, general coordinator of the Gramado Film Market.
