Espelhos negros: o olhar de diretoras negras no criação de personagens negras no cinema nacional (2011-2020).

Abstract

This project intends to analyze how black characters are represented in national feature films released between 2011-2020, in a comparative process between films directed by black women and other national productions. Bearing in mind that all cultural production carries identity traits of those who create it, implicated by their place of speech and that, historically, cinema has been carried out, for the most part, by a homogeneous class in relation to race and gender, we seek to understand how these markers cross these productions. The research intends to analyze the recent production of black female directors, a group that is still a minority in the cinematographic market, who have been investigating ways to create new narrative possibilities, impacting the construction of new collective imaginaries.
