Lb Entertainment, behind “Sintonía,” Netflix’s biggest Brazilian hit, has signed a first-look deal with Universo Online (Uol), the biggest news website in Brazil which had 99 million unique users in March 2024.
In a groundbreaking swing for Brazil, but in line with the deal struck in 2022 by Ron Howard’s Imagine Entertainment and The Washington Post, the Brazilian strategic partnership will expand Uol’s brand of storytelling to all forms of filmed entertainment.
Owned by Folha de São Paulo, Brazil’s No. 1 and best-respected newspaper, Uol has a 78% Internet reach, only bettered by Google and Facebook, according to company estimates. It is renowned for the depth, rigor and time spent of its investigative journalism.
Headed by Felipe Braga and Rita Moraes, Lb Entertainment (formerly Los Bragas) created and produced pioneering Netflix Brazilian sitcom “Samantha” (2018) and co-created with KondZilla “Sintonia,” Netflix’s biggest Brazilian hit which has now run to five seasons.

Set in a São Paulo favela, the series revolves around the lives of three teenagers who strive to achieve their dreams while navigating the complexities of friendship amidst a backdrop of music, drugs, and religion.

The creators of Netflix’s “Sintonia,” one of South America’s biggest streaming show hits, KondZilla and Lb Entertainment (formerly Losbragas), are re-teaming to co-produce a slate of series.
Ending speculation on what is next for KondZilla, a YouTube phenomenon and Lb, both based out of São Paulo, the three series – “After the End,” “A Close Call” and “South” – look set to broaden the partners’ compass from “Sintonia,” the coming of age story of three friends set against the crime and vibrant culture of São Paulo outskirts life, its gangs, thriving music scene, religion and sense of community.
The new series come in at such themes from novel angles, changing the setting or expanding the canvas of favela culture to take in a penitentiary-set drama and a string of major metropoli in the Southern Hemisphere.
The project announcement comes just after Konrad Dantas – KondZilla – delivered a keynote at this week’s Rio2C,...

A new apocalypse now haunts Brazilian cinema. It’s one in a string of such upheavals over the past year including an envisaged 43% cut to the 2020 budget of Ancine, Brazil’s huge film-tv agency and motor of movie funding, which is already grinding almost to a halt.
Producers are still waiting to receive approved incentives.
“There are several producers, including ourselves, who have projects that won support from the [Pernambuco] regional fund in 2017 and 2018, but never received it,” says Desvia producer Rachel Daisy Ellis (“Divine Love”).
Independent productions are being strangled by the freeze. “It’s bleeding cinema, it’s bleeding culture. There is a sense of doom, an anemia regarding culture and cinema,” says Karim Aïnouz, director of “Invisible Life of Euridice Gusmão.”
Now, Ancine is under threat of disappearing altogether.

Is Netflix too square, or too costly, for most young Brazilians? Or just not the place where they’d ever sample cool Brazilian content?
The U.S. streaming giant may soon find out. Simply put, its latest Brazilian series, “Sintonia,” launched globally Aug. 9, can be seen as an acid test of Netflix’s ability to leverage original series in order to grow its audience outside the U.S. in a core demographic: Young adults.
As established players, especially in Europe, target more mature audiences, Netflix’s future, identity and part subscriber appeal as a company depends to an extent on such success.
Already, six of the Netflix’s 15 Brazilian Original Series broadly target the Ya crowd with futuristic, fantasy and horror plays, whether teen dystopian thriller “3%” now in its third season; “Reality Z,” reworking Charlie Brooker’s comedic zombie bloodbath “Dead Set”; or “Boca a Boca,” just announced, a teen contagion thriller.

In typical shoot-from-the-hip remarks, Brazil’s far-right president Jair Bolsonaro has declared that Ancine, Brazil’s powerful state-backed federal film agency, should accept “filters”or face closure.
“If it can’t have a filter, we’ll close Ancine, or privatize it,” Bolsonaro added, attacking Ancine, which plows some $300 million a year into Brazil’s film and TV industries, for supporting “pornography” – in a reference to its co-financing of “Bruna Surfistinha,” a drama about a young middle-class Rio call girl.
Talking on Thursday, Bolsonaro was not clear about what he meant by a filter but did present his own vision of what Brazilian movie production should focus on: “Brazilian heroes.”
“We have so many heroes in Brazil and people don’t talk about them,” the president argued. “We must preserve their memory, show the worth of those people who in the past gave their lives, battled for Brazil to be independent...

Netflix has once again tapped the digital creator well for a scripted series -- this one set in Brazil.
The previously-announced coming-of-age drama Sintonia was created and directed by YouTube megastar KondZilla, who has the sixth most-subscribed channel in the world, with 50 million fans. KondZilla, whose real name is Konrad Dantas, is best known for directing and producing electronic funk music videos on his Canal KondZilla. Some of the music from his channel will also appear in the series.
Sintonia, which was created by Dantas in partnership with Guilherme Quintella and Felipe Braga and is being produced by Brazilian studio Losbragas, follows three friends growing up in a poverty-stricken town outside of Sao Paulo in pursuit of big dreams. A trailer for the series -- which is set to bow on Aug. 9 -- dropped today. A total of six 40-minute episodes will make up the first season, according to Deadline.

Does Brazil need a film that openly advocates armed confrontation against its far-right government? That’s the first question that needs to be asked when discussing “Marighella,” actor Wagner Moura’s directorial debut focused on the final year in the life of left-wing insurrectionist Carlos Marighella during Brazil’s ruthless military dictatorship. For whatever one might think of the film’s merits as an adrenaline-filled shoot-‘em-up hagiographic biopic of a resistance-fighter/terrorist, the penultimate scene, in which a woman picks up a machine gun and looks directly at the camera, is unambiguous in its deeply troubling message. If there were doubts, Moura doesn’t lose any opportunity to compare the current administration to its ideologically similar predecessor from the 1960s, thereby forcing viewers to judge the motivations of a film whose irresponsibility surpasses even its superficiality.
Of course the movie’s genesis began long before the fascist-leaning Jair Bolsonaro...

One of the first measures enacted by Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, who took office on Jan. 1, was to merge Brazil’s Ministry of Culture with a newly created Ministry of Citizenship, embracing sports, communications, social policy and culture.
While performing artists came under fire from Bolsinaro supporters in the runup to the elections, subject to threats, pickets, and a smoke bomb, it remains to be seen what impact the new government will have on the film industry.
By mid-January, trade bodies were reaching out to key governmental figures to guarantee the continuation of policies for promotion, investment and control of the industry, the creative industries being the second-most popular career choice in Brazil, says producer Fabiano Gullane.
“It’s illusory to think that Brazil’s film industry can do without subsidies,” says Leonardo Barros, at Conspiraçao, one of Brazil’s biggest film-tv producers. “You’d need a 30%-35% market share to start reducing them.

Netflix is working on a new original series with Brazilian YouTube creator KondZilla and Brazilian production house, Losbragas. The series, called Sintonia, will follow three friends growing up in a “favela” (essentially, a poverty-stricken town) just outside of Sao Paulo.
KondZilla, whose real name is Konrad Dantas, created the series, which he will also direct. His background lies in creating and producing electronic music videos, of which there are easily hundreds on his YouTube channel. Dantas has over 29 million subscribers on the video platform, making him one of the most popular YouTube creators in Brazil. Some of the music from his channel, Dantas told Variety, will appear in the Netflix series.
Dantas comes from just outside of Sao Paulo, like Sintonia’s central characters and Alice Braga, an actor who also heads up Losbragas along with Felipe Braga, a director and screenwriter, and producer Rita Moraes. The team previously worked...

Are we ready for the "Brazilian answer to 'Slumdog Millionaire?'" Rio Film Festival audiences quickly granted "Trash," the latest from "The Hours" director Stephen Daldry, that label after the the film pleased crowds with comedy, child wonder, and "offshore" energy (as trades love to refer to it). Polling attendees after the film's applause-filled premiere, a Variety reporter found many locals agreed that, despite "Trash" not being a true Brazilian movie, "it is not non-Brazilian in the best sense." Many praised it for being more entertaining than most "favela" (or, Latin America slum) dramas. Whether Americans will ever see it is up in the air. Based on Andy Mulligan's young adult novel of the same name, "Trash" tells the story of three “dumpsite boys," who "make a living picking through the mountains of garbage on the outskirts of a large city." Their lives spiral out of control when...
