Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the idea of a free national digital audiovisual network. This proposal partially stems from a debate on Brazilian audiovisual heritage and memory, during the I International Seminar organized by the Brazilian Digital Culture Forum, November, 18-21, in São Paulo, Brasil. We stand for a network in which any Brazilian citizen can have free and mobile access to high definition (720p, 1080p, 1080i e/ou 2K) digital audiovisual content, provided by networked archives, collections, schools, universities and other cultural/educational institutions, located all over the country. This project, a national cinegrid, is inspired by other national and international, both governmental or non-governmental initiatives such as CineGrid (http://www.cinegrid.org/), the International Festival of Electronic Language
(FILE: http://www.file.org.br/), The Brazilian Virtual Memory Network (Rede da Memória Virtual Brasileira: http://bndigital.bn.br/) or Ponto Cine (http://pontocine.blogspot.com/).
