Paper long abstract:

The films made outside the major production centers like Hollywood, in the United States, and other centers with lower production capacity, has been increasingly seen and studied, and this does appear new research clippings, such as cinemas in the suburbs even in regions and peripheral countries, such as cinemas in the states of Amazonas and Maranhão, or Caxias and the Baixada Fluminense, region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, and even the cinemas of Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau and São Tomé and Príncipe. All these Portuguese-speaking countries has expressive cinematography and thematic distinct characteristics of production and circulation, both of documentary films, as fiction, of varying length, but with local issues and the unveiling of cultural trace elements and absolutely original modes of production. The purpose of this proposal is to explore theoretical possibilities regarding the transnational film field with a view to deepening the density of the concept of periphery and the mode of production in peripheral areas.
