Projeto Paradiso’s Talent Network National Meeting will be held in Recife, Brazil, between April 16-18. The event, led by the Olga Rabinovich Institute, aims to support the Brazilian film sector through talent development, bursary programs, seminars and mentorship. Key speakers include Kleber Mendonça Filho, Akinola Davies Jr., and BAFTA-winning British-Nigerian filmmaker Akinola Davis Jr. Over 70% of the institution's talent network is expected to attend, a number that has almost doubled since the first official national meeting in 2022. Despite the event's focus on networking and community connections, the organizers insist they are not running a market, festival or industry platform.
