Cine Várzea: um momento de lazer e de conhecimento da nossa História

Abstract

Cinema, in addition to being entertainment, allows social interaction, culture and leisure. In this study, we approach how the seventh art has the ability to reproduce different cultural and social realities and transmit values and ideals to live in society. We used local authors, such as Figueroa (1994), and national authors such as Xavier (2010) from the perspective of anchoring cinema. We highlight the rich Super-8 Movement in the State of Pernambuco. The idealized space for the projections to take place is the public square with the intention of aggregating part of the population efficiently, making a harmonious architecture together with everything that exists around it and with everyone who lives in its vicinity. Thus, generating a feeling of comfort, inviting and welcoming. With this, our objective is to implant cinematographic projections, mainly national ones, in the street as an urban equipment aimed at the local community. The project to be developed will have as its basic premises the rescue of street cinema, delivering a leisure and knowledge space in full to the Várzea neighborhood and its surroundings. The peripheral population yearns for such actions, as demonstrated through our field research. It is necessary, however, an articulation between local merchants, City Hall of Recife and other social actors who wish to get involved in this work.
