To cause positive social impact by way of actions that promote culture, education and sustainability. This is the mission of Cinear Produções, cultural production company acting all over Brazil that since 1994 is committed to strengthening relationships between communities and organizations.
We promote education in many different fields according to observed needs in each region, seeking to combine teaching with instilling an appreciation of traditions, practices and the wisdom of that land. The entire process is documented and the screened before the feature film of the evening in our outdoor cinema event, as a way to celebrate the coming together of people, cultures and ideas.
We believe in cinema as a medium for coming together, and through that, transformation.
The projects executed by Cinear Produções seek to cause positive social impact by way of actions that promote culture, education and sustainability in the brazilian countryside. Since its inception, Cinear has traveled over 300,000 kilometers, through 13 brazilian states, and has executed over 2,000 workshops and over 700 outdoor film screenings.
Before every project even begins, a thorough research on the history and culture of the community’s inhabitants is done, with the purpose of creating a record, a documentation of
the local traditions, wisdom and customs, through different media like text, audio, photos and video.
From the fruits of that research, our team tailors workshops in different areas in order to better serve the specific needs of that community. Everything is fully documented.
The communities visited by the project also receive a outdoor film screening, through which all the work accomplished in the community is showcased, as well as other short and feature films curated with that community in mind. This event marks the closing of the project.
Participants of the workshops have access to a digital platform through which they can ask questions, consolidate their learning and connect to other participants, enabling a network of cooperation and interchange of experiences to be formed.
The team
We are a multidisciplinary group, formed by professionals with different skillsets and backgrounds. The team makeup is tailored to the needs of whatever project being executed.
