Lecturer: Tatiana Carvalho Costa

This short course proposes a debate on film and audiovisual culture from a decolonial and blackened outlook. It will cover short, medium, and feature films, and works in research, critique, curatorship, and other fields of reflection by the thinking of Afro-diasporic intellectuals who stress the place of the “universal subject,” and point to the possibility of decolonization in Brazilian culture, in an appropriation of this thought for practices in the fields of film and audiovisual.

There will be an analysis of gender, race, and locality for selecting participants in this course.
