Entre griots, cineastas e professores - educação como trajetórias de nós

Abstract

In times when audiovisualities take on new projections, teachers and filmmakers seek in the repertoire of traditional narrators ways to develop aesthetic alternatives to their practices. Taking as a reference the ancestral figure of the griot weave with thirteen filmmakers from the five regions of Brazil, elaborations of how their performances face the history of racism, fortify their communities and lead their audiences to another way of feeling the world. The present dissertation aims to discover in what ways filmmakers and teachers find themselves in an attempt to act as griots for their communities; thinking about aesthetics and black cinemas as creations of alternatives to current death policies in the transformation of objects into subjects; recognize the action of black cinema in the creation of a large Brazilian and diasporic community in its relations with African-origin modes of civility; to elaborate black cinema as an artifact for another education.
