2008 Brasilia Film Festival Awards2008 Brasilia Film Festival: November 18–25, 2008
Kiko Goifman's FilmeFobia / FilmPhobia, a mockumentary about all sorts of phobias — from fear of spiders and snakes to fear of penetration and buttons — received five Candango Awards at the 41st Brasilia Film Festival, including best film and best actor for Jean-Claude Bernardet, a real-life Brazilian cinema expert who in FilmPhobia plays the director of a documentary whose goal is to present "the truth" by placing phobia sufferers in some very difficult situations. Goifman — who was booed by the Cine Brasilia audience while accepting the best film award — co-wrote the screenplay with Hilton Lacerda. There were only seven Brazilian features — both narrative and documentary — in competition, and numerous complaints about the low quality of this year's entries.

We don't have direct contacts with film festivals in Brazil or elsewhere.
I'd suggest you do an online search for those festivals. I'm sure you'll be able to find them that way.
Good luck!
I am trying to find information (on the internet) on film festivals in Brasilia. Can you point me to the right places? I am a filmmaker with a short film I want to enter into festivals.
Also in other major cities like Rio and Sao Paulo, Recife and Salvador.
Thanks!
