A cidade não é uma só: um documentário sobre Ceilândia a partir dos moradores da região

Abstract

Considering the social contrast perceived in the Federal District between the Pilot Plan and the other Administrative Regions (RA’s), the present work had the objective of producing a documentary about this theme in Ceilândia, one of the oldest RA’s in the Federal District. It was sought to counter the residents’ view on the region to the visions of subjects external to it, such as journalists and researchers who live and work in the Pilot Plan. As theoretical and methodological inspiration was taken the American theorist Bill Nichols and the Soviet filmmaker Dziga Vertov; both references in documentary film studies. Following these authors, it was tried to leave the subjects of the documentary at ease during the filming, with few interventions; and the editing work was reserved to make clear the construction of the look and the point of view of the director of this film about Ceilândia.
