Escola de cinema: uma odisseia em homenagem aos 125 anos de cinema em Curitiba - PR

Abstract

The research deals with the investigation of the old streets cinemas in the city of Curitiba – PR, taking into account its landscape and architectural artifacts, aiming to generate discussions about cinematographic and heritage concepts that will be summarized for the essay of a film school. It is understood the historical importance of the urban fabric of Cinelândia, located at Rua XV de Novembro and its parallels, as a cultural heritage, whose preservation is an adversity for the present social body, since it completes in 2022 exactly 125 years of exhibition in Curitiba, in a muted manner. Through the research project, it is intended to understand – based on the construction of theoretical studies – how the relationship between space and cinema dictates the dimension of the seventh art, as well as how the cinematographic tensions occurred in Curitiba’s territory, conceiving an architecture whose type is distributed throughout the city centre. For that, urban, conceptual and analogies verifications are carried out in order to understand how to apply the guidelines that have the capacity to fill the existing gaps in space. It is known that education is a way of contributing to the process of safeguarding heritage, for this reason, learning related to the seventh art is attributed, a direct link with the genius loci of the ambience, ensuring the maintenance of the various meanings and icons present. The results obtained through the research show that, among the great problems, are the historical construction of cinematographic exhibition spaces appropriated by debauchery and the use aimed especially at the commerce of Rua XV de Novembro, factors that distance the population from the historically built aspects of the cinema. Therefore, the film school distributed through Cinelândia is able to encourage the association of the various actors that make up the city, nourishing the space with a use associated with the essence of the place.
