Brasiliana Film Collection

Brasiliana Film Collection

Brown has one of the largest collection of Brazilian films in the United States. In 2012, a generous donation of more than 800 Brazilian feature films, documentaries, cartoons, shorts, and other materials from the Cinemateca Brasileira, a federally-funded center for documentation and preservation of Brazilian films, complemented Brown’s outstanding assortment of films about Brazilian history, culture, and society. Accessible through interlibrary loan to borrowers at other universities, the collection is a valuable resource for both scholars and those who love the creativity and imagination of Brazilian film.
