The idea of organizing the I International Symposium of Cinema and Film Analysis stems from the exchange of an interdisciplinary group of researchers who investigate the relationship between films, audiovisual, and film analysis as a methodological approach, and think them through their different approaches and contexts.

The CineArte Research Group - cinema, film analysis, and the intellectual experience was created in 2017. Its goal is to bring together inquiries about film analysis, examine archive materials, highlight immanent analysis, style studies, and also the approach to historical perspectives. Created by Fábio Raddi Uchôa, in collaboration with Pedro Plaza Pinto e Margarida Maria Adamatti, CineArte dedicates itself to film analysis theories and practices, applied to cinema and other audiovisual media, taking in their artistic, historical, political, and archival diversity.

The seminars held in association with SESI-PR and the book launching of Cinema, style, and film analysis (Appris publisher, 2020) motivated the group to organize the I International Symposium of Cinema and Film Analysis. Our goal is to deepen the discussions on film analysis and its numerous methodological, historical, and conceptual approaches. We aim to strengthen the research exchange centered on film analysis, gathering different perspectives, theoretical-methodological developments, and its usage in multiple areas.

The Symposium is divided into four main topics that work as guidelines – meaning that they do not exclude other possibilities – namely: Film theory, case studies, and film analysis, Intersections between audiovisual and other arts, Female gaze and feminism, and The politics, the engagement, and the criticism.

Organized by the postgraduate programs from Anhembi Morumbi University, Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), and Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), interested in developing international exchanges, the first edition of the event will have a special session with dialogues with the research program Collimateur da Université Grenoble Alpes, which dedicates itself to mapping the film analysis of French productions in the past fifty years. We will also have
some special guests as our Keynote Speakers, namely Albert Elduque (Pompeu Fabra University), Margarida Carnicé Mur (Lleida University), Kaira Cabañas (University of Florida) e Ramayana Lira (The South of Santa Catarina University). They will bring different perspectives to film analysis, such as the popular music in Brazilian films, actor’s politics and its relations with the star system, the Lettrist Vanguard Cinema, aesthetics, and feminist politics. Among the selected proposals, we
will have panels about the Afro-Brazilian culture, cinematographic thinking in its interaction with film criticism and analysis, the engagement and the comparative perspectives in film analysis, political
cinema, sound studies, comparison with archival documentation, autobiography, genre cinema, authorship, the vanguard, the dialogue with the arts and the representations of the feminine and the Orient in the audiovisual.The researchers are affiliated with different institutions, Brazilian ones and also abroad. This diversity brings numerous points of view about historical and methodological perspectives in films analysis. They enrich and contribute to the ways this field of study can help enhance the audiovisual field.
