Centro Audiovisual Max Stahl Timor-Leste

Dili


Opposite the Resistance Museum, this important archive preserves footage from the Indonesian occupation and Timorese independence struggle, including that shot by Max Stahl, the British journalist who filmed the Santa Cruz Massacre. It's free to browse any of the archive; the English-language DVDs by the door make a good place to start.
