Ancine
agência reguladora da indústria cinematográfica e do audiovisual no Brasil
Ancine (Portuguese: Agência Nacional do Cinema or National Film Agency) is a regulatory agency of the federal government of Brazil. Headquartered in Brasília, it promotes, regulates and supervises the Brazilian cinema industry. The agency was created during the presidency of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, on September 6, 2000 (Provisional Measure 2,228-1, later regulated by Law 10,454 on May 13, 2002.). It is linked to the Ministry of Culture.
History
Ancine was created to meet a demand expressed at the Third Brazilian Film Congress (CBC), held in Porto Alegre between June 28 and July 1, 2000. One of the CBC's resolutions was to support the creation, within the scope of the Federal Government, of a management body for cinematographic activity, replacing Embrafilme, which was dissolved on March 16, 1990. The managing body was then created, as a regulatory agency, on September 6, 2001.
During the first presidency of Lula da Silva, there were discussions to expand the powers of the agency, which would be renamed the National Film and Audiovisual Agency (Agência Nacional do Cinema e do Audiovisual; Ancinav) and also regulate the television market. However, the project suffered strong criticism, mainly from broadcasting companies, and ended up being abandoned.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Ancine” is agência reguladora da indústria cinematográfica e do audiovisual no Brasil. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Ancine, agência and reguladora, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “agência reguladora da indústria cinematográfica e do audiovisual no Brasil” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q9592643. Authority coordinates are -22.909, -43.177. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2000, 2002, 1990 and 2001.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
