Sumario:With the arrival of American talkies to Recife, the local cinematography, still producing silent films, loses its space. The silent movies of Pernambuco was then overshadowed by technical innovations and financial difficulties. Because of the numerous claims of Brazilian filmmakers, the government of Getúlio Vargas, begun in 1930, seeks to encourage national cinema through laws and funding directed to the Brazilian productions. In Recife, the local filmmakers found in short films, documentaries and propaganda films a possibility to make movies. This article aims to discuss the arrival of sound films in Pernambuco and the transformations caused by this process.
