Canal 100

Canal 100 was a Brazilian newsreel created in 1959 by Carlos Niemeyer, known for its technical quality and coverage of topics such as sports, politics, and urban culture. With a cinematic language that was innovative for its time, the filmed periodical was shown in movie theaters before screenings and left its mark on generations by recording moments such as the construction of Brasília, music festivals, and the performances of the Brazilian national football team.

Its footage, often featuring unprecedented angles and slow motion, contributed to the international dissemination of the "beautiful game" image of Brazilian football. The Canal 100 collection, currently under the care of the Cinemateca Brasileira, is undergoing a restoration and digitization process scheduled for completion in 2026, according to project information.
