Screen Brasil, the leading initiative from Embratur and Projeto Paradiso designed to boost the international distribution of Brazilian features, has selected two standout Brazilian films as their next recipients: Allan Deberton’s “Gugu’s World” and Grace Passô’s “Our Secret.” The selection was announced today at a panel held during the Industry Days of the São Paulo International Film Festival.

Both films premiered at the Berlinale earlier in the year and have gone on to have successful festival runs, with the former becoming Brazil’s entry for Best International Feature at the 2027 Academy Awards and the latter winning the prestigious Kikito Award for Best Film at the lauded Gramado Film Festival.
