Paulo Gustavo was born in Niterói (RJ), on October 30, 1978. He gained visibility as an artist even during his training and had a brilliant trajectory, in which he built and played several outstanding characters throughout his career. Sadly, he passed away early on May 4, 2021, due to complications arising from covid. However, his legacy for art and national culture was marked in history and was honored with the creation of the Paulo Gustavo Law.
A Law Paulo Gustavo (LPG) was conceived to simplify access to financial resources destined to culture, in addition to accelerating their distribution to cultural producers. The LPG provides for the transfer of R$ 1,960,662.01 to the city of Novo Hamburgo. These resources can be invested in supporting audiovisual productions and movie theaters, training, training and qualification in audiovisual, film clubs and festivals and exhibitions, in addition to other areas of culture. The destination and amount of resources depend on the guidelines that will be discussed starting from the Cultural Dialogues this Friday, the 26th (see details below), and in other agendas that will be released to listen to the cultural community and civil society, together with the Municipal Council for Cultural Policy.
Culture producers will have access to resources through public notices, public calls, awards, acquisition of goods and services or other forms of simplified public selection that will be promoted by states, municipalities and the Federal District. Individuals, companies, non-profit legal entities, such as associations, foundations and civil society organizations that operate in the area of culture, may apply for the LPG grant. In addition, the projects submitted to the Public Notice (which is being prepared by the Secretariat of Culture and will be published shortly), must be from the following areas:
Audiovisual
