CINEMA AND LANGUAGE: THE POETIC CINEMA IN "THE ZERO IS NOT
Keywords:
Documentário, Poesia, Linguagem cinematográfica.Abstract
This study aims to demonstrate, from the documentary "The zero is not empty,"
Marcelo Masagão and Andrea Menezes, how it’s possible to work cinematography language
using its own elements, i.e., as the cinema allows to consist a poetic language exploring its
potential of images, movements, sounds and characters. According to the directors of the
documentary, the initial project had as scope to demonstrate the writing of people with
psychiatric disorders, conferring a statute to these marginalized writings. However, Masagãorealized the depth given by the images, he opted for the "construction" of a portrait of people that
omitted the main feature that had stimulated him to the project: "hid" the history of clinical
psychiatric of these characters. In proposing this, we understand that the director has developed
what we call a personal portrait documentary, because "the documentaries that are a personal
portrait of the filmmaker consider social issues from a personal perspective" (Nichols, 2005,
p.206). From these considerations, we intend to take the cinema as a language capable of
performing a poetic work, recognizing that, although it still suffers effects of other arts - mainly
the literary, in this case - it has elements that allow it to configure as a characteristic language.
