New forms of visibility: audiovisual gender and race representations in Goiás¹

Abstract

Although a white and male point of view still predominates in Brazilian cinema, the production of short films in regional contexts has given rise to different voices and perspectives. An example of this is the performance of three young black filmmakers in Goiás: Vanessa Goveia, Tothi Cardoso and Raphael Gustavo da Silva and their respective short films (Viúva Negra, A Câmera de João and A Piscina de Caíque), from which we investigated the intersection of gender and race in the audiovisual sector in the state of Goiás. Based on the production context and the methodology of film analysis, we identified new forms of black visibility on the screens and behind the cameras.
