Abstract

Cinema in and about Brasília represents itself: origin, canon and discourse. “When I died, one day I opened my eyes and it was Brasília.” Clarice's astonishment is recorded in the films, translated into prose and poetry. The architecture of the New Capital is on stage, it is staged, it presents itself as a setting or protagonist, depending on the discourse and film editing. Brasiliários, a short from 1986, is a montage that is close to the Russian avant-garde and differs from classic narrative or documentary cinema. Based on two texts by Clarice Lispector, it presents a language of fragments. There, architecture is no longer at the service of the characters’ actions; it is the image itself, the scene, the semantic plane of the film.
