LABRFF’s mission is to support and facilitate the Brazilian audiovisual exhibition and distribution in the United States. Moreover, to stimulate new business opportunities in the film industry. The festival has established a favorable environment to exchange information between Brazil and United States by offering panels, workshops, lectures, and networking meetings to its attendees.

The festival creates visibility and promotes the Brazilian culture throughout the most powerful medium in the world: cinema

For businesses, the festival has been proved to be more than a marketing option, but a cultural networking opportunity for filmmakers, producers, and entrepreneurs to invest in the Brazilian audiovisual industry by partnering with its productions and establishing an efficient exchange between the professionals involved with this sector.

California is known for being the biggest producer and consumer of films in the world. There is no doubt that creating and growing a cross-cultural film festival here in Los Angeles would be a hit with audiences of many different nationalities. 

Due to the re-emergence of Brazilian cinema in 1995, and the changes in Federal and State laws, an increasing number of Brazilian films have been nominated to The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
