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…

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…
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…
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…
This research project intends to study the cinematographic figures which perform narrative suspensions in favour of a sensorial appeal in contemporary fiction film, reconnecting cinema to its spectacular origins and offering a different spectatorial posture from the one implied in classical narrative films. We will study these moments of transition between the narrative and the sensorial …

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 …
This research project proposes an advanced study of visual aesthetics, focusing on movement in film, through the systematization of the first parameters of what I call Cinematics or Science of the Fugue: a theoretical tool that might work as an alternative form of analysis and audiovisual creation, discarding the need for a scenario in the making of a film, and that of a story as the basi…
