About
ForestCria is the auteur label of Forest Criações, an independent production company founded in 2011 and based in Brasília, Brazil.
Forest was born where cinema meets cause. It grew into two sister labels: ForestCom, which produces socio-environmental communication for organisations, and ForestCria, home to our own authored work.
At ForestCria we develop and produce features, shorts, series, books and comics. Stories about slave labour in the Amazon, quilombos facing rockets, delivery riders in the pandemic and journalism in the post-truth era. Different genres, the same interest: what Brazil would rather not see.
Artistic direction is by Thiago Foresti, a director and screenwriter whose work has won awards at the Gramado Film Festival, the Brasília Film Festival and international festivals.
Field research, screenwriting, labs and co-production markets. Our projects have been through Rio2C, DocCelerator, Kidscreen and Gramado Film Market.
A lean, experienced crew used to filming in remote territories, from the Amazon to the Cerrado, with social and environmental responsibility.
Festival strategy, distribution, TV and platforms. Works screened on Canal Brasil, Globoplay and Prime Video, and at festivals in 14 countries.
People who have already brought our independent works to life, and whom we want to keep creating with.
