"Você também pode dar um presunto legal": ditadura, violência, política e censura no Brasil no início da década de 1970

Abstract

This project aims to study historical moment, the early 1970s in Brazil, with the research object being the film Você também pode dar um presunto legal by director Sergio Muniz (1935-2023). Using the methodology of film analysis, we intend to propose an analysis path that takes into consideration the construction of images and sounds proposed by the film and their relationship with the political history of Brazilian context during that period. In order to produce and preserve his film work, Muniz went into self-exile in Europe during a period of strong political persecution in the country. The main objective of this research is to analyze the process of production and preservation of the work to dictatorial period in Brazil in the early 1970s. The proposed discussion is aligned with the current moment in which archival imagens gain strength in sociopolitical sphere.
