The Recife Art Cinema (RAC) operated in Recife for 14 years. It was created in 1961 by film critics Fernando Spencer, Celso Marconi, José de Souza Alencar and Ivan Soares, with Sunday sessions at Cine Soledade. It then moved to the Trianon and São Luiz cinemas and, in 1967, it began to have a permanent movie theater at the Cine Coliseu. The RAC followed the working patterns for the art and rehearsal movie theaters that emerged in France and reproduced in several countries, including Brazil. Its existence was fundamental in the consolidation of a cinematographic culture in the city of Recife in the 1960s and 1970s. This article describes the historical trajectory of RAC and the context of its experience from the perspective of the critic of Diario de Pernambuco Fernando Spencer, one of its main articulators.
