SUMMARY:

This dissertation try to investigate the limits of the concepts of identity, visibility and authorship in the audiovisual works of Cartas ao Mundão, a project that provided video workshops and film screenings for adolescents in correctional facilities between 2016 and 2018, in the metropolitan area of Recife and Mata Sul from Pernambuco. We deal here with the work of predominantly  marginalized people who, in conflict with the law and under the protection of the State, must have their image and identity hidden - which requires and justifies the common use of blur or black stripes over their eyes and faces . Therefore, the possibility of being seen on the screen, in this self-writing, becomes a constant search and, the fact of being represented and seeing oneself in the image, produces an immediate engagement, at the same time that it opens up an instability: in a context where self-recognition is guided by visibility, the experimentation of visibility comes up against legal prohibitions. In order to study the motivations and effects of this instability and crisis, I examine the limits of the aforementioned concepts through an essay investigation, focusing on experience reports, audiovisual experimentations and letter-films filmed in the project, speculating on possible ways of a cinema's emancipatory in correctional facilities spaces, trying to understand how students can invent and reinvent roles and destabilize stigmas, and finally I still risk defending "deviation" as a political exercise in the face of the strategic docility of the disciplinary project.
