It is notable for combining screenings with live music, discussions, and audience-director encounters, positioning itself as a cultural bridge between Italy and Brazil rather than a large competitive market festival. Its significance in the festival circuit lies in giving Italian and European audiences access to Brazilian productions and in promoting contemporary Brazilian cinema and culture abroad.
