SCENE 01 / PRODUCTION INSURANCE

Production Insurance

Comprehensive insurance solutions for film productions in Brazil.

Scroll

Here is how this works in practice. Production insurance protects against the financial risks inherent in filmmaking. In Brazil, required CLT employment needs apply to local crew, and heritage locations managed by IPHAN often need specific liability coverage. Remote shoots in the Amazon or Pantanal may need specialized coverage for site-level and health risks.

We set up production insurance through Brazilian brokers skilled in film and television coverage. Our team arranges full policies that satisfy CLT employment obligations, IPHAN heritage site needs, and global distribution standards.

On Location

Production insurance written through SUSEP-regulated Brazilian carriers, covering ANCINE Lei do Audiovisual deliverables, Amazon + Pantanal + Iguaçu wilderness exposure, Carnival February crowd-density risk, ATA-carnet equipment-in-transit cover through Receita Federal Aduana, and CLT + INSS + FGTS occupational-accident liability for the full crew

Here is how this works in practice. Brazilian production insurance routes through SUSEP (Superintendência de Seguros Privados, the federal insurance regulator) and is written by domestic carriers. This covers Porto Seguro, Bradesco Seguros, Itaú Seguros, Tokio Marine Brasil, and SulAmérica anchor the standard market. With global syndicates (Lloyd's of London brokers, AIG, Chubb, Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty) writing the top-tier feature-film and high-value commercial cover. Required cover for shoots seeking ANCINE Lei do Audiovisual Article 1A/1B tax-credit eligibility has seguro-garantia (performance bond) on co-funding flows, errors-and-omissions for E&O delivery, cast and crew accident cover layered on top of INSS-mandated occupational-accident reporting through CAT (Comunicação de Acidente de Trabalho), and gear-in-transit cover for ATA-carnet imports cleared through Receita Federal Aduana at Guarulhos or Galeão. CLT labour-law occupational-accident liability is statutory and runs through SAT (Seguro de Acidentes do Trabalho) at variable rates based on activity risk rating. Hospital Albert Einstein São Paulo, Sírio-Libanês, Rede D'Or, and Copa D'Or Rio anchor the top-tier emergency-response insurer network.

Here is the short of it. Brazil's exposure profile demands carrier specialisation that shoots arriving from less geographically varied markets miss. Amazon-region shoots (Manaus, Belém, remote Rio Negro and Solimões tributaries) carry malaria, yellow-fever, dengue, and Zika exposure cover that needs FIOCRUZ (Fundação Oswaldo Cruz) medical-evacuation network planning — mostly through SAR (Search and Rescue) air-ambulance partners. Pantanal UNESCO 2000 wildlife exposure (jaguar, anaconda, caiman, peccary), Iguaçu UNESCO 1986 waterfall-edge fall risk, Fernando de Noronha UNESCO 2001 marine-diving exposure, and Chapada Diamantina plateau access carry distinct riders.

Here is the breakdown. On the ground, Carnival February crowd-density cover at Marquês de Sapucaí Sambódromo (Niemeyer 1984) and Salvador street blocos (Olodum, Ilê Aiyê, Filhos de Gandhy, up to 2.5M attendees per day) needs bespoke public-liability layering. Favela location shoots (Rocinha, Complexo do Alemão, Vidigal) carry kidnap-and-ransom and political-violence riders typical to São Paulo's CBD security profile. FUNAI-cleared Terras Indígenas work carries community-elder consent attached to all liability papers. Spcine and RioFilme commission grants need certificate-of-insurance evidence on filing.
