WALTER, Fernanda Omelczuk and SCARELI, Giovana. Cinema in the shelter: meetings, gestures and events. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.72, pp.1235-1252. Epub Feb 03, 2022. ISSN 1982-596X. https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v34n72a2020-53256.
This text is the result of reflections on our experience with the “Education, Cinema, Other Territories” Extension Project at the Lar de Idosos Abrigo Tiradentes, in Minas Gerais. A specific objective of the Project is to hold cinema sessions with the elderly in different territories. The methodology and the evaluation of the actions are understood as a gesture of monitoring the Extension Program, supported by cartographic research, methodological practice relevant to the monitoring of ongoing processes and the production of subjectivities. The questions we ask ourselves for this reflection are: what can cinema do in a Shelter for the Elderly? What connections could we make between cinema, language and event? What do these people experience with films? What could we exercise, based on the concept of event, in thought? Through this essay, we seek an exercise in thinking about “events” in our meeting with the residents and with the films during the cinema sessions at Lar de Idosos - Abrigo Tiradentes.
