History

In 2017, Elis, a film distributed by Paris Filmes and Downtown Filmes had the most nominations for the Brazilian Cinema Grand Prix.[2] In September of the same year, Downtown Filmes scheduled a movie screening in solidarity with João Pedro. The nine-year-old boy, who has cerebral palsy, was forgotten on a school outing, and the case gained repercussion after his mother reported it on a social network.[3]

In August 2019, it revamped its logo and adopted a new name, DT Films. In April 2020, it announced the release of 180 films together with Paris Filmes to theaters for the industry's post-COVID-19 pandemic revival.[4] In January, it was one of the supporters of the "Rocinha Project," which screened audiovisual productions in the Rocinha slum.[5]
