Free streaming platform will be launched by the Ministry of Culture

Recreated in the new Government, the Ministry of Culture (MinC) announced one of its biggest releases ever. The entity confirmed the creation of a streaming free. The new tool appears as an action by the Audiovisual Secretariat (SAV) and focuses on valuing national productions.

The information was confirmed this week, with the Government of President Lula (PT) classifying the idea of ​​the initiative as a means of promoting Brazil's diversity through the free availability of a wide range of the country's audiovisual content, which should include several films, series and documentaries.

Justifications for creation

The government's new streaming platform does not yet have an exact launch date, but it should reach the Brazilian people in the second half of 2024. In short, the project is in the finalization phase, but it is already presenting itself as an opportunity to get rich the panorama of consumption of productions from the Brazilian audiovisual scene. The main idea is to ensure that all citizens have access to 100% national, quality content.

Initially, some important questions have not yet been answered, such as how this Brazilian streaming platform will be financed and which productions will be chosen to make up the service's catalog. The latter is very relevant for the project, since most national films and series already occupy space on other existing paid channels and tools.

The proposal from the Ministry of Culture

This is not the first time that a free streaming platform has been considered in the sector as a project to access national productions. For some years now, producers and other professionals in the cultural field have been betting on a similar idea to bring together Brazilian audiovisual content. The recent concern has been to facilitate the creation of film clubs and use the tool in educational activities, in addition to democratizing access to entertainment.

"The platform aims to facilitate public access to cultural works, and also strengthen education and national identity through audiovisual media.“, highlights the Ministry of Culture. “(The project) responds to the commitment to ensure full access to cultural rights. The platform aims to facilitate public reach of works, and also strengthen education and national identity through audiovisual work“, He adds.

Responsible for heading the Ministry of Culture, singer, songwriter and actress Margareth Menezes stated, in a speech last Wednesday (7), the importance of cultural access for every Brazilian citizen:

We know that the full exercise of citizenship, the defense of culture and art permeates the defense of democracy. Without culture there is no democracy; and there is no democracy without culture.
