Identidade e pertencimentos: reflexões sobre a filmografia de Afonso Brazza

Abstract

In this paper, based on the filmography of Afonso Brazza, I propose some questions about the market of cinema, particularly in the West, and about the nature of many films narratives that may represent counterpoints to the patterns and hegemonic structures of production and distribution in cinematographic industry. The films made by this movie maker, in Brasília, Soldier of Fire Department, may be thought as radical narratives that, playing, interact with the excesses of cultural and cinematographic industries. In his narratives, the signs and heroes of stories told by others, especially by North American movies, are eaten anthropophagically, incorporated and retold, in new stories, telling about his own way into the word, and his belonging.
