FUTURISTIC PROFILE
Brasilia is a unique city in the world, with its bold architecture conceived by the urban planning of Lucio Costa and enriched by the masterpieces of Oscar Niemeyer. World Heritage entitled by Unesco, Brasília is also worldwide known for its vocation for the civic, ecologic and esoteric tourism.

UNIQUE ENVIRONMENT
Our natural environment, the dry wilderness of Cerrado, is considered the second biggest ecosystem within Brazil, with similar biodiversity than the Amazon Rainforest. Our diversity of natural scenarios and climate conditions turn the region into one of the most surprising places to shoot films on Earth.

BEAUTIFUL WEATHER
We can say that Brasilia is indeed a filmmaker paradise: an average of 252 sunny days throughout the year, low humidity of the air and a 360º of skyline wherever you are. Everyday seems to be a good season to shoot in Brasilia, with our merciless sun, cloudless sky and our bright natural light.

PRIVILEGED GEOGRAPHY
Situated in the heart of Brazil and consequently equidistant to all regions, Brasilia is considered the portal for Central Brazil. Our international airport stands for its modernity, receiving direct flights for the main cities within the Brazilian territory on a daily basis. Even the airport inspires the creative: we have four cinema theatres to entertain people in transit for other places.

SAFE STAY
Although being the federal capital, Brasilia doesn’t have problems usually found in big metropolis, such as traffic and violence. The city still conserves a peaceful and leisurely atmosphere, with a very young and active population. According to the United Nations, Brasília has the highest Human Development Index within Brazil, similar to places like Sweden and Canada.

CITY OF FILMMAKERS
Brasília is considered the Brazilian capital of cinema-maniacs. We have the largest numbers of theatres per inhabitant (over 70) and the highest average of movies’ audience within the country. Brasilia also hosts the “International Film Festival” and the mostly traditional “Brazilian Cinema Film Festival”.

INDUSTRY INFRASTRUCTURE
Several production and post-production houses, as well as studios and rental equipment companies are based in Brasilia. In addition, the city offers a large number of production teams with costs lower than the rest of the world. The Culture Secretary is on the verge to launch the urbanistic project of the Multimedia Pole, which will occupy an area of over 775 hectares dedicated to the development of the regional Film, Television and Video Industry.

BUSINESS CENTRE
Divided into sectors, with wide avenues and little traffic, Brasilia has an excellent range of hotels well prepared to host large productions of all types. In addition, here you can find a great variety of catering, transport and other receptive services that leave nothing to desire in your production.

WORLD REPRESENTATIVES
Embassies from all over the world are based in Brasilia, meaning that we have people prepared to deal with all languages spoken in the world. Brasilia was also build by the hands of “Candangos” coming from all over the country – and this ethnic diversity makes us capable of having casts with all kinds of looks.

POWER PROXIMITY
Brasilia is also the stage for the main federal government actions. In a walking distance, you can find the president dispatching at Planalto Palace; senators and deputies discussing at the National Congress; ministers from the Executive, Judiciary and Diplomatic careers at the Three Powers Square.

LOCAL SUPPORT
In addition, we have a local government totally sensitive to all subjects related to the audiovisual industry, always keen to help as far as local shootings are concerned. We also have a series of financial incentives for enterprises taking place within the Federal District, such as Pro-DF and FCO.

ALL ADVANTAGES IN ONE
After visiting Brasilia, executives from Paramount once said: “Brasília have technical conditions to compete with Hollywood”, in reference to our skylight state-of-art. We can ensure you: if you want to shoot in Brazil with agility, security, comfort and economy, Brasilia is the place you want to be.
