Também somos irmãos e As aventuras amorosas de um padeiro: aquilo que os filmes contam de onde queremos chegar

Abstract

The main scope of this work is to propose a film analysis of the films Também Somos Irmãos (1949), directed by José Carlos Burle, scripted by Alinor Azevedo in dialogue with Teatro Experimental do Negro and produced by Atlântida; and As Aventuras Amorosas de um Padeiro (1975), by black director and screenwriter Waldir Onofre, co-produced by Embrafilme and Regina Filmes Ltda. The research uses the concept of representation as a power struggle and centralizes the black female gaze, through the elaboration of bell hooks (2019). The film analysis developed here was possible through the construction of a methodology built on the concept of intersectionality, worked by Carla Akotirene (2018), seeking to establish as an approach axes that articulate multiple systems of oppression, such as territory, work, race, gender and religion and isolation of the subject; especially in the search to understand what these films say to the black female body, in the dimension of spectatorship and based on the discussion about the representation of black people in Brazilian cinema.
