Para Chico: documentário autobiográfico em um filme-carta

Abstract

The starting point and motivation to do this CBT was archival material, composed of photographs and the recording video of my baptism and first birthday, rediscovered from work done for an optional audiovisual preservation discipline. The documentary Para Chico, the result of this experimental project, was made from my conception towards the life of my father, who today is no longer living with me. He died tragically eleven years ago, in the city of Carolina, located in the southern region of the state of Maranhão. I was a teenager and couldn't tell you so many things that I would like, today, as an adult, to confide to you. The (sub)genre of the film-letter, which can be considered within the field of autobiographical documentary and film essay, opened up the possibility of scaling my perspective to the audiovisual apparatuses, so that it would allow me to make this short film. Upon completion of the Bachelor of Cinema and Audiovisual course, I find myself with all the tools and supports in my field to express myself and say what I want to my father.
