Public Policies for Conservation and Access to Television Programs in Brazil - 2013.

Despite the importance of the audiovisual in Brazilian culture, television production remains entirely absent from debates and public policies concerned with the cultural heritage, the legal deposit of productions, or access to collections by scholars and researchers. This paper presents a historical panorama of the world of television in Brazil, reconstructing the history of the heritage concept, its related legislation, and its involvement with national identity from the Modernist movement to the setting up of the Brazilian Film Library as the vehicle for the public policies of the federal government. We show that Brazil lives a paradox, with policies aiming at the preservation of the cultural heritage having been strengthened since the 1930s even as public policies for the audiovisual sector are limited to matters of production and diffusion. In this sector, the requirement for legal deposit is restricted to films and videos produced with public resources, while for television, there is no requirement for legal deposit at all.
