The credits of São Paulo producers at this year’s Berlín Festival attests the building international clout of the State’s production sector.
Active in the market since 2003, Coração da Selva is “guided by social responsibility and inclusion” and is behind projects such as Karim Aïnouz’s lauded Berlin competition entry “Futuro Beach,” starring “Civil War’s” Wagner Moura, and “Just Short of Perfect,” which became the most-watched titled film on Netflix in its week of release. Launched in 1991 by director Carlos Reichenbach and soon producing his “Alma Corsária,” in 2007 Marcelo Gomes’ feature debut “Cinema, Aspirins and Vultures,” Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra’s Cannes Un Certain Regard player “Hard Labor” and a Dezenove highpoint, werewolf fairy tale “Good Manners,” a Locarno Special Jury Prize winner. Karim Aïnouz’s “Motel Destino” played Cannes competition; “Noah’s Ark,” sold to 70 countries, proved the highest grossing Brazilian animation film in history and “Senna” ran for six weeks in Netflix’s non-English language series Global Top 10.
