GP7 Cinema Takes Center Stage at Rio2C 2026 with a Case Study Presented by TV Globo

GP7 Cinema participated in Rio2C 2026, Latin America’s largest gathering of creativity and innovation, reinforcing its presence among Brazilian independent production companies capable of developing and producing content for the leading players in the national audiovisual market.

The highlight of the event came on the very first day, when the TV movie *Meu Avô Stanislau*, produced by GP7 Cinema in partnership with TV Globo, was presented as a case study during the panel “Local Stories, National Reach — How Looking Closely at the Country Strengthens Regional Industries and Creates Identity,” held on the Globo Summit Acontece Stage.

Moderated by Dira Paes, the panel brought together Gabriel Jacome, Director of Content at TV Globo; Fred Mayrink, Artistic Director at TV Globo; actress Vitória Strada, and director Fernando Segtowick to discuss the role of regional narratives in building a more diverse audiovisual landscape—one connected to Brazil’s diverse realities and capable of resonating with audiences across the country.

During the discussion, *Meu Avô Stanislau* was highlighted as an example of the network’s strategy to invest in stories rooted in local culture but with the potential to resonate universally. The TV movie garnered widespread acclaim from audiences by transforming elements deeply tied to Paraná’s cultural identity into a narrative marked by emotion, a sense of belonging, and human connection, reaching viewers far beyond its regional borders.

The selection of this work as a reference point for the discussion highlights one of the major transformations currently underway in the contemporary audiovisual industry. In a landscape marked by fragmented attention and an ever-increasing volume of available content, cultural authenticity has become a strategic asset. Increasingly, audiences seek stories capable of reflecting real experiences, unique perspectives, and genuine identities.

In this context, *Meu Avô Stanislau* represents a concrete example of how regional productions can achieve national relevance when developed with artistic excellence, technical quality, and a deep commitment to the cultural authenticity of their narratives.

The inclusion of the TV movie as a case study at Rio2C underscores that local stories not only strengthen regional creative industries but also have the potential to occupy a prominent place in the Brazilian audiovisual market.

For GP7 Cinema, the recognition received at Latin America’s leading creative economy event represents yet another milestone in its more than two-decade-long journey dedicated to producing original content. More than just a showcase for a specific work, participation in the panel symbolizes recognition of the production company’s ability to develop projects aligned with the sector’s contemporary trends and demands.

By choosing *Meu Avô Stanislau* as an example for the discussion, TV Globo highlighted a vision that is increasingly prevalent in the industry: the future of audiovisual media will be both global and hyperlocal. In other words, it will be authentic stories—capable of translating Brazil’s cultural diversity into universal narratives—that will have the greatest potential to connect with audiences.

GP7 Cinema’s presence at Rio2C 2026 also reinforces its ongoing strategy of building relationships with broadcasters, streaming platforms, distributors, and other market players.

In an environment that brings together the audiovisual industry’s key decision-makers, the recognition achieved by *Meu Avô Stanislau* cements the Paraná-based production company as a leading force in independent production in southern Brazil and demonstrates its ability to transform local stories into content with national reach.

The production company was represented at Rio2C 2026 by founding partners Guto Pasko and Andréia Kaláboa.
