THE PROJECT
The
“Tolerance” project started in the end of 1995, the year Carlos Gerbase
wrote the first version of the screenplay. Casa de Cinema de Porto Alegre
spent three years raising funds for the project through the Audiovisual
Law (a federal law of fiscal incentives for investments in the arts) and
the Lei Estadual de Incentivo à Cultura (a state law of fiscal incentives
for investments in the arts). “Tolerance” is a project of the Casa de Cinema
de Porto Alegre, founded in 1988, and renowned for its extensive audio-visual
production, which has won many prizes in Brazil and abroad.
The Casa de Cinema de Porto Alegre, presently formed by
its members Ana Luiza Azevedo, Carlos Gerbase, Giba Assis Brasil, Luciana
Tomasi, Jorge Furtado and Nora Goulart, is also a film distributor, having
a significant share of the recent film production of Rio Grande do Sul
in its collection. The main investors in “Tolerance” are: Copesul, RGE,
CRT, Ferramentas Gerais, Josapar, A. J. Renner Bank. The film is distributed
by Columbia Tristar Filmes do Brasil, which has also invested in the sales
of the film, thus becoming a partner of Casa de Cinema de Porto Alegre,
taking “Tolerance” to movie theaters throughout Brazil.
