📽️ Cinema Novo brought Brazilian #cinema international recognition, but film making in #Brazil began much earlier and ran far deeper. We spoke with Rafael de Luna Freire about the importance of preserving this broader legacy through #digitization.

Rich Film History

Visual reading: “Brazilian films remain niche, compared to Hollywood’s dominance, but international recognition can help push certain films out of that niche – for example, when Ainda Estou Aqui (I’m Still Here) won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film last year.” - Rafael de Luna Freire

🎧 #GünterGrass is one of the greats of German literature. A Nobel Prize winner, he was active as a novelist ("The Tin Drum"), poet, playwright and artist. Earlier this year, De Gruyter published the first handbook covering all phases of the writer's life and oeuvre. 1/3
