Abstract

This note deals with the crisis that has been affecting the Cinemateca Brasileira since 2019, revealing the history of the reasons for that turn of events and evaluating the damages brought about by the last governmental actions relating to the institution. The endeavour to describe in this work the activities developed by Cinemateca Brasileira and what it represents to society as a whole points out a conviction that in spite of the gravity of current situation the institution will survive. This might not be true by the will of the current government or by virtue of perpetual motion, but this might happen by reaction of our civil society and of the Courts of Justice of our country against a set of faults which affected it completely.
