Since the late 1960s, video has stood out as one of Brazil’s most important and lasting cultural phenomena. Three schematic phases are distinguishable in the short history of Brazilian video. In the 1970s it was explored exclusively by artists in search of new means and foundations for their creative ideas. In the 1980s independent video appeared, enlarging the range of creative video and bringing it to a wider public. In the 1990s a new wave of videomakers pursues more mature and individual work, while at the same time seeking to fortify previous achievements.
