AB The aim of this article is to contribute to uncovering and analyzing film exchanges between the French cinematheque and the cinematheques in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Montevideo (Uruguay) in the aftermath of World War II. In addition to providing a brief history of the creation of the South American institutions, this article studies specific titles that travelled between these three countries. On the one hand, it explores how films that arrived from the south allowed for the recovery of titles thought to be lost and contributed to the programs of the French cinematheque. On the other hand, it examines how the selection that was sent from the north contributed to both the perpetuation of a canon of classics and the circulation of versions that have an impact on current access and restoration projects.
