The inaugural year of the Hollywood Brazilian Film Festival in 2009 proved successful with 75 indie films screened over a three-day festival. From Jan 27 – 29, 2009, over 8,590 Brazilians and regional residents had the opportunity to learn more about the film industry through lectures, competitions and the screenings of new and exciting films from across the country.

The goal of HBRFEST is to position Brazilian filmmakers as a breakthrough creative community with a vibrant arts and film community of Hollywood.
