Zenith Optimedia projects that digital ad spending in Brazil will be $1.2 billion this year, and the social networks are competing with Google and portals such as UOL, Globo and Terra for a slice of the pie. And while Facebook in the U.S. is known to be vying for TV dollars, it faces a still more herculean task in Brazil, where TV is predicted to account for 69.4% of ad spending this year and holding steady, compared with 38.4% and falling in the U.S.

The Brazil Film Fest is pleased to co-presenting two days of cinematic excellence with Toronto International Film and Video Awards (TIFVA)
at the Big Picture Cinema (1035 Gerrard Street E)
February 22nd and 23rd.  

A selection of winning and nominated films from TIFVA's 2012 season will be screened, with a special emphasis on works that were either made by women or exploring women's issues.

The Latin American Speakers Series

The Latin American Speakers Series aims to contextualize Latin American art within Canada as well as enrich our understanding of Latin American art from both the continent and the Diaspora. Through lectures, audio-visual presentations and discussions, the series serves as an opportunity for cultural exchange. This year we have invited renowned artists Coco Fusco, Rosângela Rennó, Teresa Margolles and curator Chus Martínez to present their work and commitment to the development of an aesthetic rich of social content and critical dialogue.

The Latin American Speakers Series is curated by Tamara Toledo and presented by Latin American Canadian Art Projects.

Higher Twitter penetration in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico than in the US

Major markets in Latin America have already shown a penchant for social networking on the world’s largest social site, Facebook, at least among internet users. And the region is expected to grow its social networking user population by double digits through 2014. As it does, newcomers and mavens are turning not only to Facebook but to smaller social sites as well.
