Abstract

This article focuses on three relevant moments of the reflection and the debate on the 20th century cinema. Our intention is to identify the ways by which the practice of criticism in news journals meets the written production coming from cinephile centers, movie clubs, educational and research centers, such as film libraries and notably universities after the 60’s.
