Danielle Barros said that the Rio state government has introduced policies to actively promote international cultural exchanges and cooperation, so that Rio culture and Brazilian culture can go abroad and go international. Rio State attaches great importance to the production of film and television works, and at present, the Rio State Department of Culture has received special funding from the federal government for film and television production, hoping that one day Rio's film and television works can also be screened in China. It is hoped that through the film and television works cooperation project, we will promote pragmatic cooperation in cultural exchanges between Brazil and China.
At the screening ceremony, nearly 2022 Chinese and foreign guests watched the excellent film "The Long Confession" produced by Emei Film Group, the largest film industry group in southwest China. Released in August 8, the film is the opening film of the Osaka Asian Film Festival in Japan, telling the love story of the male and female protagonists who meet again after 20 years of affectionate waiting.
