BTVP International Newsletter

   
Brazilian TV Producers wishes everyone a happy 2012!
For eight years, the Brazilian TV Producers (BTVP) - international program developed by Brazilian Independent TV Producers Association – ABPITV – has been developing opportunities for new partnerships between the international market and Brazilian audiovisual production. BTVP concentrates on promoting the development of new co-production opportunities and is dedicated to expanding the global outreach of Brazilian produced programming.
 

 
 
BTVP participates in all of the key international conferences and we are set and excited to host the RioContentMarket, a major international multiplatform event in Latin America created by ABPITV, taking place on February 29th, March 1st and 2nd, at the Hotel Windsor Barra, Rio de Janeiro. Registration is now open for the RioContentMarket 2012, at www.riocontentmarket.com!
 


 

 
Brazil approves pay-TV liberalisation
Brazilian broadcast production will see major changes this year with the recent establishment of the "Paid TV Bill". Commencing in March 2012, the law authorizes the participation of telephone companies in the area of paid TV programming, eliminating restrictions of foreign capital and creates new quotas for independent productions on programming. With this new regulatory framework in place, we'll have even more strength to promote partnerships!

BTVP is carried out in partnership with EBC/TV Brazil, the Audiovisual Secretariat of the Ministry of Culture and Apex-Brasil (Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency). We are also supported by the Brazilian Film Agency (Ancine), Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE) and Brazilian National Development Bank (BNDES).
