Despite this positive message, the event takes place once again in the first person at a delicate moment for its organization, a victim of the anti-cultural policy of the Bolsonaro government. Two years after losing the sponsorships of Petrobras and BNDES, the Exhibition has also stopped receiving funding through the Rouanet Law and will be held thanks to much struggle and resistance.
Tickets for the 46th edition of the Sao Paulo International Film Festival will be sold through the event app and on the Velox Tickets portal from the 15th.
