The Brazilian government is launching Cine Petrobras 2026, a mobile cinema project that will bring free cultural experiences and entertainment to 30 cities across ten states. Beginning its journey on March 5th and 6th in Paracuru, Ceara, the Cine Petrobras 2026 truck transforms into a state-of-the-art movie theater on wheels and will travel from the Northeast to the South of Brazil between March and June. The Ministry of Culture approved this free initiative, which is facilitated by the Cultural Incentive Law, sponsored by Petrobras, executed by Cepar Communications, and supported by local mayoral offices. Milton Bittencourt, Petrobras Cultural Sponsorship Manager, stated that Petrobras views culture as a tool for social transformation and highlighted the company’s long-standing commitment to Brazilian cinema. He added that Cine Petrobras extends this commitment by providing free access to cinema in cities and neighborhoods lacking screening venues, thereby fostering cultural engagement and cultivating new audiences. The project will visit the states of Ceara, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraiba, Pernambuco, Sergipe, Bahia, Espirito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, and Rio Grande do Sul (see the complete schedule at https://agencia.petrobras.com.br/institucional/projetocinepetrobras-leva-cinema-gratuito-a-10-estados-do-brasil).

Staying for two days in each city, the truck converts into a climate-controlled cinema with comfortable seating, digital sound and image systems, and a concession stand distributing popcorn and soft drinks. Local public schools and institutions have exclusive access to four pre-booked sessions during the day. Free evening sessions are open to the public, with tickets distributed at the truck during the day. The cinema also provides audiovisual accessibility resources and wheelchair-accessible space. Petrobras supports numerous other film production and distribution projects in Brazil. For over 30 years, the company has sponsored approximately 600 domestic films, including classics such as Carlota Joaquina, Princess of Brazil, City of God, Tieta from the Backlands, Carandiru, The Quartet, Bacurau, and Kleber Mendonca Filho’s acclaimed film, The Secret Agent, which is currently in contention for an Oscar. Petrobras also runs initiatives like the Petrobras Vitrine Session, which periodically brings new and restored films to over 20 Brazilian cities through discounted screenings. Additionally, it supports significant audiovisual exhibitions and festivals in the country, such as the Gramado Film Festival, Bonito Cine Sur, Sao Paulo Film Show, Tiradentes Film Show, and Gostoso Film Show, and sponsors Petrobras Cinema Space, one of Sao Paulo’s most iconic cinemas.
