Abstract

Cinema in Brasília 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 Nova Capital is on stage, it is staged, it presents itself as a scenario or protagonist, depending on the speech and film montage. Brasiliários, a 1986 short, is a montage that approaches the Russian avant-gardes 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’ action; it is the image itself, the scene, the semantic plane of the film.
