The purpose of this article is to explore the women's attendance at the city of Barbacena (MG - Brazil) on cinema sections whose were specially dedicated to the women public called “Chic Sessions” with emphase on scheduals that happened at the Cine-Theater Leal Between 1926 and 1927. With the intention to analyze the meanings conferred to these programmings. A analyses of reportages from the journal Cidade de Barbacena, of the magazine Nação Brasileira, the synopses and photographs of the broadcasted movies was made. The conclusion was that "Chic Sessions" became moments where the female citizens where able to experiment a new experience, but with a highlighted instructive and moralizing character when it cames to the projected content. However it was verified that they were encouraged to other activities provided by the local and by the plot from the movies that involved, for exemple loving bonds e bodily practices inspired by the ones performed by the Hollywood actresses on screens and on personalizaded magazines pages.
