2nd Festival roundtable held at MIS-SP | August 25, 1984

Debaters | Sergio Santos de Oliveira (Concine), Aurelino Machado (Embrafilme), Carlos Ebert (Telecine Maruim), Fernando Mariani (Embravideo), Fernando Meirelles (Olhar Eletrônico), Paulo Aragão (ABV), Roberto Mendes (Globovídeo), Ronald Suplicy (Videocassete do Brasil)

The Festival’s third meeting discussed the potentialities of Brazil’s video market, focusing on home video and on how video productions could reach video clubs, considering that the Concine (National Film Council) only granted the national label to cinema productions. Independent video makers stressed the need to protect the national industry from uneven competition.
