Olga Rabinovich, courtesy of Projeto Paradiso Back in 2018, Brazilian heiress and philanthropist Olga Rabinovich sat her team down and gave them a mission: to find the most effective way to nurture a cause in dire need of effective financial support in her home country. After a year of research, Olga found her answer in the film industry, launching the Olga Rabinovich Institute the same year and Projeto Paradiso a year later.
Projeto Paradiso offers a wide range of support to Brazilian screen professionals to maximize their presence on the global stage. The organization is heavily focused on internationalization, working with partners to connect national talent with opportunities worldwide and offering bursaries, training opportunities and carefully curated resources. The initiative was recently behind buzzy festival titles such as Allan Deberton’s Berlinale-winning “Gugu’s World” and Grace Passô’s “Our Secret,” and boasts a talent network of 264 professionals, including Anita Rocha da Silveira (“Medusa”), Juliana Rojas (“Good Manners”) and Dira Paes (“Manas”).
