Paisagem na neblina da arte cinematográfica: um pacto cinéfilo do Cineclube da Associação Paraense de Críticos Cinematográficos (APCC)

Abstract

This research will focus on the history of the film club of the Association of Cinematographic Critics (APCC), due to the importance of recording, analysis and dissemination of the works developed, from creation to the present day, and establishing relationships and educational proposals for cinema interaction with the subjects included in the world. All works are sources for reviewing and creating the concepts, function and importance of film clubs, as a space for showing films and stimulating studies on the evolution of cinema as art and its varied alternatives for creating and communicating with viewers. One of the goals is to value the work of Film Clubs and update, in contemporary times, their importance as an element of cultural action and film education. It also aims to document and analyze the actions carried out by the APCC Film Club, from 1967 to 2020, through bibliographic and documentary research (newspaper articles, interviews and advertisements), as well as the activities carried out, of the cultural agents involved, of the partners who collaborated with their performance and of the spectators of the programs carried out, in this film club movement in Belém-PA. When researching the history of a film club that shared film experiences with several spectators, it is understood that the evolution of cinematographic art took several attempts to create its own language with the contribution of several artists. However, the extensive trajectory of experiments required other means of insertion for the public, such as film clubs, these created in the 1920s, in France. These film clubs were fundamental for the understanding and appreciation of other cinematographic aesthetics. From the study of the performance of a film club located in the Amazon, with greater operational adversities than in other urban centers, the intense awakening of its agents' cinephilia and the importance of understanding its history to maintain film club ideals in activity is highlighted. In order to maintain and expand the actions of cinematographic culture practiced by this film club, it is necessary to think about an expanded filmmaking that includes a greater relationship between cinema as art and its relationship with the world in proposals that develop and explain its potential as an artistic medium. educational.
