Abstract

Abstract A single film can reveal much about the symbiotic relationships between civilian sectors and the dictatorship established with the 1964 coup. This case study investigates Brazil year 150 , a documentary short film by Amaral Netto celebrating the sesquicentennial of Independence (1972). It traces a circuit of unofficial propaganda gathered around this film. Rooted in history and audiovisual studies, it combines immanent film analysis with extra-filmic sources detailing the object’s trajectory, including archiving, production, censorship, and circulation. In conclusion, this short film witnesses a “modernization” of the old cinematic “cavação” (commissioned films) for a more structured audiovisual collaborationism. (AU)
