Eros: experiências de um curta-metragem na construção de uma personagem lésbica

Abstract

This descriptive memorial presents the fictional short film Eros, produced as a final project for a course in Radio, TV, and Internet at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. The project explores the use of various film resources, from scriptwriting to post-production, to construct a character during the discovery of her sexuality. Inspired by visual resources from Fight Club (1999), the narrative follows a young woman in a heterosexual relationship who projects the figure of a woman onto her partner, experiencing a process of discovering her own sexuality. The research investigates how aesthetic choices, such as framing and cuts, can visually translate this subjectivity. At the same time, the project is part of a movement to promote Brazilian sapphic cinema, contributing to the expansion of lesbian stories told with sensitivity and complexity. The work records all the creative and reflective stages involved in the production of the film.
