Film Collection

The film collection of the Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut (IAI) comprises approximately 7,450 videos and DVDs from and about Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, and Portugal (mostly in their original language). The focus of acquisitions is on documentaries, feature films, literary adaptations, and interviews. Since 2006, the Förderkreis des Ibero-Amerikanischen Instituts e.V. has supported the collection through the targeted purchase of important films from and about Latin America and the Caribbean. The complete inventory is listed in the IAI online catalog (external link, opens in a new window) and can be searched using the keyword “Bildtonträger” (visual media).
