TheGramado Film Festival (Portuguese:Festival de Gramado) is an internationalfilm festival held annually in theBrazilian city ofGramado,Rio Grande do Sul, since 1973. In 1992, the festival began to awardLatin American films produced outside of Brazil. It is the biggest film festival in the country.
Formed by the National Cinema Institute (Instituto Nacional de Cinema - INC) in January 1973, the Gramado Film Festival was originally launched at theHydrangeas Festivity (Festa das Hortênsias), where film exhibitions were promoted between 1969 and 1971. The efforts of the artistic community, the press, tourists, and locals made the initiative a successful event. By the 1980s, it was already the most important film festival of Brazil.
Currently,[when?] the festival grants awards in 24 categories (13 for Brazilian films, eight for international films, and three special awards).[1] Its awards, called "Kikitos", are 13 inch statuettes created by the artisan Elisabeth Rosenfeld.
