This article addresses the films made by Herbert Duschenes, German architect and art history lecturer who arrived in Brazil in 1940. Never studied before, to this day the films have been watched only by family members, friends and students. Our goal is to confer to the films a reading that goes beyond the domestic and didactic purposes that were originally attributed to them, analyzing them as home movies that belong to the territory of documentary. As part of the research, the two hundred and twenty seven short films of the collection have been digitalized and identified. They can now be studied in the light of concepts by Roger Odin and Arlindo Machado, whose investigations focus on this kind of production, thus fostering the debate on the boundaries of documentary film making.
