Lula announces the launch of Tela Brasil, the “Brazilian Netflix”
Lula announced that the new streaming platform Tela Brasil, also known as the “Brazilian Netflix”, will be available next Saturday, April 30. The project, led by the Ministry of Culture, aims to gather national films and make access easy and free for all Brazilians. With an initial catalog of 447 works, including award-winning and independent films that circulate in festivals and film shows, Tela Brasil intends to expand access to culture and entertainment for free. The initial investment was R$ 4.2 million, ensuring that the streaming is free for everyone. In addition, the expectation is that the catalog will be gradually expanded after the launch of the project, allowing the incorporation of new content over time.
The Tela Brasil brings together a catalog of national films, including award-winning and independent productions. Some of them have already been exhibited in festivals and film shows, but did not have easy access to a large audience. With the platform, these films can now be watched for free by all Brazilians. The portal also highlights the importance of preserving and accessing national culture, allowing Brazilians to be the main beneficiaries of this.
The Tela Brasil also highlights some actors, directors and elements that deserve to be mentioned. Some of the main names involved in the project include President Lula, who refers to the platform as “our Brazilian Netflix“. The resources for the platform were invested in a public catalog of streaming dedicated exclusively to national audiovisual productions. Other names involved were not necessarily disclosed.
