The article examines the conditions of production and recognition of scientific cinema in Brazil by comparing three distinct moments and contexts: the first moment takes place in the nineteenth century, and it is related to the contribution of a Brazilian astronomer otherwise little known to Brazilian film scholars, the second addresses Benedito Junqueira Duarte's voluminous mid-twentieth-century filmography, and the third moment documents recent scientific film experiences within ultra high resolution movies transmitted over photonic networks. Future trajectories for aesthetic concerns and practical issues such as the archiving of ultra high definition cinema are usefully informed by these histories of scientific cinema, even as a current generation of multidisciplinary teams including scientists, filmmakers, computer scientists, and network engineers reinvent, rediscover, and necessarily expand the scientific cinema toward concerns of real time collaboration and teaching.
本文通过比较三个不同的时刻和背景，考察了巴西科学电影的制作和认知条件：第一个时刻发生在 19 世纪，与一位鲜为人知的巴西天文学家的贡献有关；第二个时刻涉及 Benedito Junqueira Duarte 数量庞大的 20 世纪电影制作；第三个时刻记录了最近在超高分辨率电影方面的科学电影制作经验，这些电影通过光子网络传输。即使当前一代包括科学家、电影制作人、计算机科学家和网络工程师在内的多学科团队正在重新发明、重新发现并必然扩大科学电影的范围，以关注实时协作和教学，这些科学电影的历史也为审美关注和实际问题（如超高清晰度电影的归档）提供了有益的信息。
