SUMMARY:

Discussions about gender and sexuality in contemporary Brazilian cinema have been expanded through queer perspectives. This study follows this trend by observing the presence of aesthetic manifestations of artifice in Brazilian films from the 2010s, such as the use of colors and neon lights. To understand these connections, in the first chapter, the study begins by addressing queer theory and its political propositions, examining the aesthetic roots of the underground American cinema movement that currently influences. Next, the project indicates the paths of queer cinema and its aesthetics, while also providing a brief overview of the history of Brazilian queer cinema to understand the growing aesthetics of artifice. In the second chapter, the research delves into cinematic language, observing light and color as elements related to morality, sensoriality, and queer spectatorship. Aesthetic examples are presented, as well as the history of neon lights, to comprehend the differentiation and identification of queer subjects in relation to their use. Finally, in the third chapter, to illustrate and substantiate this phenomenon,
the general use of neon in cinema is briefly indicated, followed by the creation of a film constellation (SOUTO, 2019) called "Brazilian Neon Queer from 2010 onwards", composed of 10 films that are analyzed comparatively.
