Brazlândia: um documentário sobre o homem do campo

Abstract

This memorial portrays the work of producing a short-film documentary about the reality of rural men and women producers in Brazlândia. It aims to break stereotypes, bringing a new look at the region's residents. As a theoretical-methodological contribution, it uses the dialectical method and observation to understand the social and identity factors that involve the daily life of rural workers and transpose them into an audiovisual narrative. As a theoretical framework, the concepts and thoughts of Costa (2005) and Castells (1999) were used, as well as the Puccini (2007) and Coutinho (1997) studies on documentary video. The research resulted in the audiovisual production Homens da Terra, in order to honor and give visibility to rural producers in Brazlândia.
