| Summary: | The text focuses on Brazilian films O processo (Maria Augusta Ramos; 2018) and Democracia em vertigem (Petra Costa; 2019), analyzing the way each of them show scenes from the country´s political context. In O processo, despite the witness camera effects, there is a country that unveils itself; in Democracia em vertigem, the excess of edited images reframes temporalities and spaces as to suggest that the camera is there to organize a compilation of facts that re-presents a media-historical discourse. Each in its own way, both films establish estrangements which can contribute to the necessary critical review of the political panorama of contemporary Brazil. |
