Characters in displacement in contemporary Brazilian documentary

Abstract

The settings of the characters of the documentaries provide gradations and, above all, different presentations. This instance instigates the execution of this text which elects a more specific routing: the theme of displacement. Six films are part of the corpus: Em trânsito (Henri Gervaiseau, 2005), Motoboys –Vida Loka(Caíto Ortiz, 2004), Handerson e as horas(Kiko Goifman, 2007), Andarilho(Cao Guimarães, 2006), Pachamama(Eryck Rocha, 2008) e Um passaporte húngaro(Sandra Kogut, 2003). These documentaries provide a series of questions that can be structured as:1) the settings and characteristics of the characters in their shifts; 2) the relationship the character has with the director, the director who chooses both their characters, as director-character.
