A Brazilian government warehouse storing movies, documents and antique projectors from Brazil’s film industry has caught fire in Sao Paulo. The fire department says 15 fire vehicles and 50 firefighters are at the site.
Firefighters work to control a fire at a warehouse owned by the national film institute, Cinemateca, which houses South America's largest collection of films, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Thursday, July 29, 2021. Sao Paulo’s fire department said 15 fire vehicles and 50 firefighters were at the site working to prevent the flames from spreading to a larger area of the building.
The fire department said 15 fire vehicles and 50 firefighters were at the site trying to prevent the flames from spreading to a larger area of the building. Last year, a flood at the same warehouse damaged part of the collection. In 2016, Cinemateca’s headquarters in another area of the city also suffered a fire.
Eduardo Morettin, professor of audiovisual history at the University of Sao Paulo, was watching the firefighters work outside the building. “What we see here is part of the absolute disregard for everything that concerns the memory of our country,” he said.
