History

In 2017, Elis, a film distributed by Paris Filmes and Downtown Filmes had the most nominations for the Brazilian Cinema Grand Prix.{{cite web|access-date=2021-10-22|title="ELIS" E "AQUARIUS" SÃO OS MAIS INDICADOS AO GRANDE PRÊMIO DO CINEMA BRASILEIRO 2017|url=https://www.exibidor.com.br/noticias/mercado/7189-elis-e-aquarius-sao-os-mais-indicados-ao-grande-premio-do-cinema-brasileiro-2017|website=Portal Exibidor}} 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.{{cite web|access-date=2021-10-22|date=2017-09-15|title="DOWNTOWN LEVA AO CINEMA MENINO COM DEFICIÊNCIA EXCLUÍDO DE PASSEIO ESCOLAR EM MINAS GERAIS|url=https://www.exibidor.com.br/noticias/mercado/7418-downtown-leva-ao-cinema-menino-com-deficiencia-excluido-de-passeio-escolar-em-minas-gerais|website=Portal Exibidor}}
