CineTeatro Paissandu
The Restoration Project and Launching of the new Cine Teatro Paissandu is part of our portfolio of Incentive Tax Projects approved and funded via Lei Rouanet. The Rodrigo Pinto and Leo Feijó Projects, aimed to restore the Cine Paissandu founded in 1960 - being part of the cultural heritage of Rio de Janeiro. The concept was to convert the space for multipurpose use, cultivating the film screenings and other cultural events, encouraging community involvement, sustainability and access. FSR Produções was responsible for the approval of the project into the Lei Rouanet, article 18, raising funds of over R$ 7 million.
In June 2013 Foundation Television travelled to Rio to shoot elements for the BBC Television - CBeebies Show - Mister Maker Around the World. Mister Maker airs in over a hundred countries and our technical requirements are very high.
The pre-production and shoot were set up by FSR and FSR worked closely with the UK production team to book the Rio team, source locations and book the crew and technical equipment. FSR also supervised the location recces and came out out on all the shoot days. FSR Producoes was a pleasure to work with.
Kind Regards
