As Fires Consume Brazilian Cultural Heritage, Could Cinemateca Brasileira Be Next?
With preventable fires and flooding destroying many of Brazil s cultural institutions, what s at stake for the country s most significant film and television archive?
In the midst of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic, Brazil’s cultural institutions are facing an onslaught of funding cuts, closures and employee layoffs, made all the more painful by the federal government’s denial of the gravity of the health crisis and its economic fallout.
