In an era of overflows and hybridisms in the audiovisual field, when the boundaries between formats, genres and languages are increasingly blurred and hard to be defined, this research project proposes a new approach to moving images, focusing on their relation to choreographic art, not only as distinct artistic languages - film and dance - that sometimes intersect, but as developments of…
As forms of expression based on the same principle of "moving plasticity", dance and film were associated since the turn of the 20th century, when both reflected the constant transformations experienced by urban centers and their inhabitants. Over the decades, the act of filming dance had to be reconsidered several times, in order to transcend the mere recording of a performance. On the o…

Different films from the generation of "cinema novo" and "cinema marginal", in Brazil, throughout the 60s and the 70s, displayed structures, forms and narratives that encompass temporal repetition in their interior. The main hypothesis supposes that there is a rich relation between the formal figure of repetition and the aesthetics of authors like Rogério Sganzerla, Andrea Tonacci and Gla…
Certain films, by venturing into poetics of excess, thourgh intense incorporation of technical defects throughout the production of the work (in opposition to regulatory and normative models of the cinematographic form and its representational-narrative images), construct audiovisual systems of disorderly and chaotic appearance. They search, in this manner, to bring out sensorial intensit…
The following essay intends to examine the political and authorial nature of north-american filmmaker Michael Mann's work, based on the analysis of two of his films, Thief (1981) and Miami Vice (2006). Mann is one of the central names of north-american filmmaking from the past 30 years, distinguishing himself by making it possible to, simultaneously, imprint a unique style when working w…
This project aims to analyze the function of the actor and his interpretation model both on stage and on film. At first, we will investigate how the American school, specifically the Actors Studio, has created a specific methodology of interpretation for the actors, with greater projection in the cinema, from the research method conceived by the Russian theatre master Constantin Stanislav…

Certain films, approaching an aesthetics of visual excess, gesture towards the intense incorporation of technical defects throughout the creation of the work (thus going against the regulatory and normative models of the standard cinematographic form and its narrative- representational images), building complex audiovisual systems of chaotic and disorderly appearance. Thus, they seek to a…
The aim of this research project is to study a group of modern films made in Brazil approximately during the years of the civil-military dictatorship (1964-1985) which are characterized by poetic manifestations of repetition in their formal and narrative structures, explicitly or not. We can find such manifestations in a series of different films, whether or not they are part of Cinema No…
This research internship abroad is part of our PhD research project whose main objective is to analyze the relationship between the narrative and the sensory in cinema. Our approach deals with three different conceptions of the film character: the film character understood as an articulating element of the narrative, generally modeled after the human person (which we will call the "person…
This research project proposes a systematic study of the human figure representation in cinema. Considering the film language, the cinematographic "dispositif" and the figurative structure of the filmic image, we intend to infer and analyze different composition modes of the human figure. Our research project makes a counterpoint to the idea of conformation between the treatment given to …
