The article takes as empirical material the models of masculinities conveyed in the curriculum of two brazilian films: “Elite Squad” and “Futuro Beach”. We start from the assumption arising from the field of cultural studies in a post-critical perspective in which cinema is understood as a cultural artifact, therefore capable of disseminating knowledge and educating your audience. The objective is to analyze the different models of masculinities produced and made visible by the film curriculum. The argument developed is that this curriculum operates in different ways from the representations of masculinities of each work: hegemonic masculinity in “Elite Squad” and abject masculinity in “Futuro Beach”. We conclude that the cinema can provide powerful encounters between genders and sexualities and the educational field, because if on one hand this curriculum reiterates a hierarchical hegemonic model of masculinity, on the other there are leaks and more diverse escapes and less affective to normativities.

Keywords : curriculum; cinema; masculinities; genders; sexualities.
