Brazil’s Nicho54 Institute is launching Cinemateca Negra (Black Brazilian Cinematheque in literal translation), an original publication that consolidates data about Black films in Brazil. Launching globally from the Marché du Film in Cannes, the publication maps over a thousand films made by Black filmmakers between 1949 and 2022, featuring a wealth of criticism, interviews, and data aimed at combating the historical erasure of Black creatives in the country, as well as incentivizing public policies to support Black filmmakers.
