Abstract

The constitution of a imagery thought from Brazilian Northeast
takes place of a reflection in the field of cinema aesthetics, involving
the powers to produce questions about its own world. Designing an
image of the universe consists in creating a look of the Northeast,
conceibing possible problems of the visualities at this space. This
process occurs in multiple temporalities, in a way that constitutes
contemporary images. The recent film production of Pernambuco
combines questions about this space and visuality, images of a
Northeast in tension with political problems. This paper seeks to
discuss the forces organized by Árido movie (Lírio Ferreira, 2005)
and Baixio das bestas (Claudio Assis, 2007), to face the challenges
of reinventing images to the Northeast.
