The agreement may also facilitate professional training in new digital media, as well as make co-productions easier.

According to the Ministry of Culture, the NFB has over 9,000 audiovisual titles, including documentaries, fictions, and animations, that Brazilian Audiovisual Secretariat wants to make available to public television networks in Brazil.
