Digital Cinema Package (DCP)

Here is how this works in practice. Brazilian DCP packaging serves both festival circuit and theatrical distribution. We produce SMPTE DCP and Interop DCP via Doremi DCP, Qube, Sony DCP, and easyDCP workflows at Globo Estúdios PROJAC, O2 Filmes, Casablanca Studios, Quanta Pós-Produção, and Conspiração for DCI-P3 cinema colour, 24fps and 25fps cadence, 2K and 4K resolution, 5.1 and 7.1 surround audio plus optional Dolby Atmos object-based audio, and KDM key running for secure venue delivery.

Here is how the picture comes together. On the ground, brazilian festival distribution covers Festival de Gramado (since 1973. This covers the Kikito awards, Brazil's most prestigious national festival), Festival do Rio (since 1999), Mostra Internacional de Cinema de São Paulo (since 1977, the oldest), Festival de Brasília (since 1965, the oldest national event), Festival do Cinema Brasileiro de Paulínia, Anima Mundi animation festival in Rio and São Paulo, and É Tudo Verdade / It's All True documentary festival.

Here is the short of it. Theatrical distribution runs through Cinemark Brasil (the largest chain), Cinépolis Brasil, Cinesystem, UCI Brasil, and Cineart MG (Affonso Brandão's chain). Brazilian DCP masters have carried worldwide recognised titles: Black Orpheus (Cannes Palme d'Or 1959), Kiss of the Spider Woman (William Hurt Best Actor Oscar 1985), Central Station (Berlin Golden Bear 1998, Best Foreign Language nomination), City of God (four Oscar nominations 2002 including Best Cinematography for Cesar Charlone), Motorcycle Diaries (Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar 2005), Tropa de Elite (Berlin Golden Bear 2007), Bacurau (Cannes Jury Prize 2019), Aquarius, The Two Popes, Narcos Netflix, and I'm Still Here (Foreign Language Oscar nomination 2025 with Fernanda Torres Best Actress nomination).

Here is what we have to work with. On the ground, ANCINE sign-ups is required for theatrical exhibition, Receita Federal handles tax-rebates audit, and ICMS state VAT (17-20%) is part of the financial structure. LGPD residency on AWS São Paulo or Azure Brazil South governs DCP master storage and KDM key running. LIBRAS sign-language tracks and audio description are increasingly delivered alongside the primary DCP.
