== History == Ancine was created to meet a demand expressed at the Third Brazilian Film Congress (CBC), held in Porto Alegre between June 28 and July 1, 2000.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2009-10-02 |title=III CBC / Congresso Brasileiro de Cinema |url=https://congressobrasileirodecinema.wordpress.com/historico/3%c2%ba-congresso-brasileiro-de-cinema/ |access-date=2024-07-25 |website=Congresso Brasileiro de Cinema |language=pt-BR}}</ref> One of the CBC's resolutions was to support the creation, within the scope of the Federal Government, of a management body for cinematographic activity, replacing Embrafilme, which was dissolved on March 16, 1990.<ref name=":1" /> The managing body was then created, as a regulatory agency, on September 6, 2001.<ref name=":0" />

During the first presidency of Lula da Silva, there were discussions to expand the powers of the agency, which would be renamed the National Film and Audiovisual Agency (''Agência Nacional do Cinema e do Audiovisual''; Ancinav) and also regulate the television market.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Senna |first=Orlando |title=SEMINÁRIO NACIONAL DO AUDIOVISUAL RELATÓRIO |url=http://www.cinebrasiltv.com.br/pdf/relatorio.pdf |access-date=2025-08-06 |website=cinebrasiltv.com.br}}</ref> However, the project suffered strong criticism, mainly from broadcasting companies, and ended up being abandoned.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2012-10-17 |title=A "noite do delete", ou quando a Ancinav reduziu-se a Ancine - Observatório do Direito à Comunicação |url=http://direitoacomunicacao.org.br/content.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=912 |access-date=2024-07-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121017132022/http://direitoacomunicacao.org.br/content.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=912 |archive-date=2012-10-17 }}</ref>
