The Olga Rabinovich Institute is a charity supporting the Brazilian audiovisual sector. In 2019 the Institute launched the “Projeto Paradiso”, a program that intends to foster the development of Brazilian films, with an emphasis on stories that engage with diverse audiences. The Pop Up Film Residency & the Olga Rabinovich Institute jointly organise the “Pop Up Film Residency Paradiso” in that framework.

The “Pop Up Film Residency Paradiso” offers a 3-week residency for an experienced Brazilian filmmaker to work on the development of his/her feature film project.
