History
Officialized by the National Cinema Institute (Instituto Nacional de Cinema - INC) on January 1973, the Gramado Film Festival was originally launched at the Hydrangeas Festivity (Festa das Hortênsias), where film exhibitions were promoted between 1969 and 1971. The efforts of the artistic community, the press, the tourists, and the locals made the initiative an official event. By the 1980s it was already the most important film festival of Brazil.
Awards
Currently the festival awards films in 24 categories (13 for Brazilian films, 8 for international films, and three special awards). Its awards are called "Kikitos". It is the name of the 13 inches statuette created by artisan Elisabeth Rosenfeld, which is given to the awards winners.
