The sound of fifes announces: Penedo officially becomes a candidate to be part of the select world group of Creative Cities, a network developed by Unesco to encourage collaboration and production in the creative economy.
The traditional demonstration that refers to the festivities of Bom Jesus dos Navegantes opened the 1st Creative Day of Penedo, held this Friday, 31st, at the Comendador Zeca Peixoto Convention and Events Center, the former Cine São Francisco.
The recovery of the largest and most modern cinema in the Northeast of its time, inaugurated in 1959, was highlighted by Mayor Ronaldo Lopes in his speech. The investment is one of the favorable points for Penedo in the process of evaluating the cities competing in the call for bids, the result of which will be announced in October.
Penedo bets his potential on cinema to join the Cidades Criativas network, uniting past, present and future to be at the side of Santos-SP, a partner in the endeavor that is also supported by Recife-PE, João Pessoa-PB, Campina Grande-PB, Salvador-BA and Fortaleza-CE, the northeastern cities already included.
The municipality of São Paulo is the only one in Brazil qualified in the cinema segment, among the 12 in the country that are part of the network of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
Another relevant fact cited by Ronaldo Lopes at the ceremony concerns the Cine Penedo, under construction and with the last installment of the BNDES released to meet the project of the Federal University of Alagoas (Ufal) to install the audiovisual production center.
The partnership between Penedo City Hall, Ufal, the São Francisco River Basin Committee and the Government of Alagoas is responsible for the Circuito Penedo de Cinema, an event that holds five simultaneous festivals and advances to its 13th edition in 2023.

“The most important thing is already being done, which is this process of raising awareness about the importance of the creative economy for you”, stressed Eduardo Barroso, specialist in the Cidades Criativas network and collaborator of the municipality in the work started in 2022.
He also stressed that the definition by a certain segment does not mean that the city will act only in the one that generated its inclusion, it will be the ‘business card’ that opens the doors to cuisine, music, literature, design, media arts, handicrafts and popular arts .
In front of an audience full of students from the municipal and state public networks, the Secretary of Tourism of Penedo stated that Penedo is already a creative city. “What we want and are working to make this happen is to make the creative economy sector an important generator of jobs and income in the municipality”, highlighted Jair Galvão.
The 1st Creative Journey of Penedo opened space for an exhibition of local artisans and photographers, represented by James Dantas, Kamylla Feitosa, Matheus Santos and Bruno Vieira, all honored by Ronaldo Lopes and Guilherme Lopes, Executive Secretary of the Health Department of Alagoas.
The program for the event, which ended in the early evening, clarified aspects of the creative economy and the Unesco network through invited specialists and presented the official video of the launch of Cidade dos Sobrados to the place that is already its own.

The holding of the 12th edition of Circuito Penedo de Cinema means more than the return of the festival to the old Cine São Francisco. At the opening ceremony, the municipalities of Penedo and Santos-SP signed a mutual cooperation agreement to strengthen audiovisual production in both municipalities.
The cooperation also aims to support Penedo as a candidate to join the Cidades Criativas network, in the cinema segment. The UNESCO project includes 49 cities, 12 of which are Brazilian and, until this year, only Santos is the national representative in the Seventh Art.
The formalization of the partnership took place at the Comendador Zeca Peixoto Convention and Events Center, where Mayor Ronaldo Lopes and the Director of the Cinema Department of Santos, Raquel Pellegrini, signed the document.
The ceremony was also attended by Jair Galvão, Secretary of Tourism; Aliny Costa, Secretary of Culture, Leisure and Youth; Sérgio Onofre, general coordinator of the Penedo de Cinema Circuit; Josealdo Tonholo, dean of the Federal University of Alagoas; Maciel Oliveira, president of the São Francisco River Basin Committee (CBHSF); Teresa Machado, superintendent of Secult Alagoas and federal deputy Paulão.
For Mayor Ronaldo Lopes, signing the term is a very ambitious step towards the development and strengthening of the audiovisual sector in the city of Penedo.
“We felt able and prepared to take a higher leap and we sought this partnership with the city of Santos because we understand that Penedo can indeed be a creative city in the cinema segment. This step, despite being very big, may be possible and I have no doubt that we will seek this UNESCO seal for another creative city in our country. We are very pleased with this partnership”, explained Ronaldo Lopes, adding the implementation project, by Ufal, of an audiovisual school in the city.As stated in this article, you can browse your selection of available deals on smartphones and top brands and explore the cell phone service plans that best suit your needs.
“Our city is honored to work in partnership with Penedo, especially where Brazilian culture and cinema are beginning to breathe better. Santos has been a creative city in the cinema segment since 2015, being the only city in the Americas in the category, and we need another representation. We are very happy to be able to make this exchange, the transfer of information and knowledge is very important, as well as for the population to understand the strength that cinematographic production and audiovisual production have, and what they move economically. Always save national cinema!”, highlighted Raque Pellegrini.
“Due to the legacy of its own history, the city of Penedo naturally breathes different segments of the creative economy. Penedo has immense potential to develop the segment of events, culture, music, design, arts, crafts, audiovisual and many others. And the audiovisual enhances, in a direct way, the tourism, through the movement of the productive chain. Every tourist wants to know and see up close scenarios that were shown in movies, series or soap operas. And this is one of the importance of strengthening this segment”, concludes the SETUR manager.
