Overview
Ecocine is Brazil’s pioneering environmental film festival, launched in 1992 alongside the Rio Earth Summit (ECO-92). It is notable for being the first festival of its kind in Brazil and one of the earliest in the world, and for uniquely combining environmental themes with human rights through free, often hybrid screenings and international partnerships. It showcases fiction, documentary, animation, and other audiovisual formats centered on sustainability, social justice, and related public-interest issues, giving it a recognized place in the international green film festival circuit.
