Margens, online, v. 15, n. 24, p.165-180, jun. 2021. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18542/rmi.v15i24.10056. Disponível em: http://repositorio.ufpa.br:8080/jspui/handle/2011/14090. Acesso em:.1982-5374https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/14090Our starting point is a discussion about the committed art and political resistance to which filmmaker Luiz Sergio Person and critic-screenwriter Jean-Claude Bernardet respond, especially, magical realism and Third World Cinema. The duo Person and Bernardet is an original voice within the Sixties. We analyze their production, from the feature film The case of the Naves brothers – which dared to denounce torture and state violence in Brazilian military dictatorship – up to the non-filmed screenplay The plague of the ruminants, a manifesto of insurgency and resistance against the violence of the Military Dictatorship. Finally, we will speak about the film that Person made at the most violent moment of the Dictatorship, Procession of the Dead, a fantasy that brought into playing real political elements of Latin America at the time, such as rural guerrillas and the death of Che Guevara.Acesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Luiz Sergio PersonJean-Claude BernardetA hora dos ruminantesAmérica LatinaArte engajadaThe plague of the ruminantsLatin AmericaCommitted artArtigo de Periódico10.18542/mri.v15i24.10056
