Journal Article
Pioneer Cinematographers of Brasília: Home Movies and Newsreels during the Construction of the New Capital of Brazil
2022
Overview
The city of Brasilia was built between 1957 and 1960 under the government of JuscelinoKubitschek, when architect Oscar Niemeyer and engineer Lucio Costa's project was put into practice. During the construction, filming happened spontaneously, such as home movies, and through companies contracted by the State to make government propaganda showing the construction stages of the new capital. This article discusses aspects of the life and works of six pioneers who filmed Brasilia as it was being built: Manuel Mendes, Fernando Rosendo, Dino Cazzola, Isaac Rozemberg, Jose Antonio Silva, and Salvio Silva. In addition, consideration is given to access, in the current period, to the films produced during the construction and early years of Brasilia, and to the importance of such works, which became inscribed as part of cultural world heritage by UNESCO in 2007.
