| Abstract | |
The present investigation discusses the issue of independent Brazilian cinema in the period between the realization of the I Paulista Congress of Cinema (1952) and the creation of Ancine (2001), identifying the debate and the ideas developed by the Brazilian cinematography, by critical experts and by the State, in order to identify the conformation of an independent brazilian cinematographic thought. Despite referring mainly to an alternative cinematographic mode of production to the hegemonic model of cinema, the expression independent cinema often refers to aesthetic and production, commercialization and exhibition proposals that vary throughout the development of the activity in Brazil, presenting different forms of relationship with the State and with the antithesis itself, the dominant cinema. When analyzing the independent national cinema as a strategy of affirmation in opposition to the realization model and to the dominance of the cinematographic market due to industrial productions,there is a need for reflection on this category through these articulations, assuming its complexity and affirming its importance for the national cinematographic activity. The main argument, therefore, is that independent cinematographic thought is presented throughout the history of Brazilian cinema, shaped here through the mapping of the transformations, ruptures, permanences and singularities that characterize it (AU) | |
