| Resumo: | The present work seeks to problematize the representation and representativity of black women in brazilian cinema, since it is possible to verify the low visibility of this population group in the audiovisuals. It is understood that it is necessary to highlight these discussions, for it is only through the production of inclusive and democratic geographical spaces that an antiracist society can be built, as well as one based on gender equality. Because of this, the works analyzed for this study are: "My Mom is a Character" (2013), whose box office was the biggest in the year of its release, and "Jerusa’s Day" (2014), a short film produced by the so-called Black Cinema, in order to enhance the culture and knowledge of black people. Finally, it was concluded that the figure of black women has been gaining space in national cinema, especially through projects such as Cinema Negro, in contrast to works of great public reach, which still do not give them due prominence, since this representation is always linked to the same stereotypes of Brazilian reality. |
