The opportunities related to Creative Economy arise when Penedo achieves international recognition as an UNESCO’s Creative City, at the Cinema Category.

“We encourage producers and directors From Penedo and Alagoas to choose Penedo Destination and the Baixo São Francisco region as locations to short films.” Jair Galvão points out.
