FRAPA – The Porto Alegre Screenwriting Festival – is the first event focused in scriptwriting for television and film in Latin America. The 4th FRAPA will be held at Cinemateca Capitólio, from the 5th to 8th of July, 2016. Our aim is to discuss and strengthen the significance of screenplay writing in times of rise in TV and film production in Brazil, as well as promote a place for local professional screenwriters to get to know what’s new and in production all around Latin America.

Inspired by similar festivals in the United States of America and Europe, FRAPA has grown in size throughout the years, organizing debate sessions, competitions, workshops, screenings, master classes and business rounds. We intend to make FRAPA a reference for the thought of audiovisual writing in Latin America. By encouraging the exchange of experiences between screenwriters and other professionals in the audiovisual market, we create an opportunity for qualification and celebrate new partnerships.

FRAPA. Great stories to come.
