Abstract

With the research about the creative process of the script of the film The Famous and The Death (Esmir Filho, 2009), it was possible to put on evidence the experimentalism and also to analyze the dialogue with the literature and the multiplicity of languages and medias, creating a 'movement' that is composed by different artists and instances. That's because there's also a book with the same title; a channel on Youtube (/JJingleJangle) with short videos; music; photos and a book with the original script.The internship was thought as a tentative of bringing into a dialogue, movies from Latin America, mainly Argentina and Mexico, that could be similar aesthetically or in its realization process. With this we think it will be possible to put on evidence an aesthetical inclination from recent filmmakers, but also an ideology that passes by the creative process of movies that are made at these countries with culture and economic semblances. In this processes, the experimentation and a sensorial view must be thought as a convergence point. (AU)
