The agreement seeks to strengthen sustainability, methodological innovation, training, and the coordination of the Ibero-American audiovisual sector.
The Panvision Cultural Association, through its EcoVision project, signed an institutional, technical, and strategic cooperation agreement with IBEROFIC -the Ibero-American Network of Film Commissions- with the goal of strengthening the sustainability, methodological innovation, training, and international networking of the Ibero-American audiovisual sector through the EcoVision project. The signing took place on Wednesday (27) during Rio2C in Rio de Janeiro.
The agreement was signed by Carolina Cordero, founder and member of the Board of Directors of IBEROFIC, and Tiago Santos, CEO of Panvision. Both agreed on the urgent need to provide the local industry with accessible tools adapted to its specific economic and operational characteristics.
“At IBEROFIC, we believe that the future of the audiovisual industry depends on our ability to produce more consciously and collaboratively. This alliance with Panvision represents a very important step in bringing real and accessible tools to Latin American producers, respecting the particularities of each market and strengthening the regional commitment to sustainability,” says Carolina Cordero, founder and member of the Board of Directors of IBEROFIC.
The alliance envisions extensive collaboration between the institutions to promote sustainable practices in Latin American audiovisual production. Among the planned actions is access, for producers linked to IBEROFIC member territories, to EcoVision’s CO₂ calculator, a tool developed specifically for the Latin American context. This tool allows producers to measure, monitor, and reduce the environmental footprint of audiovisual productions based on parameters adapted to regional dynamics.
The agreement also includes Panvision’s active participation in the Working Group on Sustainable Filming, an initiative created by IBEROFIC in February of this year to promote training, awareness, and the development of viable protocols for the audiovisual sector. This group brings together film commissions, partner institutions, and international specialists, with the aim of expanding the participation of independent producers from across the continent in the future.
“It is very important for Panvision to sign this agreement, which represents our first alliance with a film commission. Our collaboration with the IBEROFIC network aligns with our purpose of strengthening Ibero-American audiovisual production through cooperation, sustainability, and international partnerships,” emphasizes Tiago Santos.
Also participating in the meeting were EcoVision coordinator Marilha Naccari; Panvision secretary general Alissa Azambuja; and EcoVision researcher Igor Miguel.
