Twenty years of brazilian cinema: understanding cinematographic culture in Brasil in the 21st century

Abstract

Stephanie Dennison’s Remapping Brazilian film culture in the twenty-first century reflects on the transformations of film culture in Brazil in the last twenty years, observing the role played by the national cinema in the period marking the rise and decline of “Lula Era”. Dennison’s perspective, based on Cultural Studies and in-depth knowledge of the discussions on brazilian cinema underlies this retrospective analysis that contributes to the understanding of the artistic, economic and cultural achievements obtained in almost two decades of public policies focused on audiovisual.
