VENTURA, Hélio Lucio dos Reis; OLIVEIRA, Samuel Silva Rodrigues de  and  BORGES, Roberto. ON BLACK CINEMA TOWARDS AN ANTI-RACIST EDUCATION: a possible way to reshape one's (point of) view. Revista Teias [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.62, pp.294-303.  Epub Feb 09, 2022. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.%y.50008.

This text takes it as a starting issue the present dispute on the concept of the so-called "Black Cinema". It analyzes the Brazilian New Wave / Nouvelle Vague movement on Cinema ("Cinema Novo"), whose films began to depict black bodies under a different approach/light, i.e., no longer as 'exceptions'. Nonetheless, such films still bear serious problems about the representation. Therefore, this text presents an analysis of the film "Dogma Feijoada" ("Bean Stew Dogma" — an approximated translation), which is a landmark manifest on the great inflections that have taken place in the Brazilian film production. The present article also arguments that the Black Cinema, in both aesthetical and political disputes, make changes possible on the social's common sense, breaking apart from the whitening of the cinematographic language, and increasing new ways of narrating African-Brazilian people's experience. In order to wrap up the discussion presented here, we briefly debate on Law n. 10.639/2003, and we argue that the loci aimed at educating, besides and beyond the official educational system, are of paramount importance and extremely necessary for the construction of fully aware citizens regarding their roles in an anti-racist agenda.

Keywords : black cinema; anti-racist education; Law n; 10.639/2003.
