| description | This paper discusses filmmaker Sylvio Back and the relationships between cinema and the State during Brazil’s military regime in the 1960s and 1970s. Back then, Brazilian cinema was mainly political and aggressive. At the same time, the government was interested in the film industry, and created awards and financing entities in order to increase national box office earnings. Sylvio Back then started to make films, saying that his intentions were to make “serious” movies, but that could be understood by their public. To analyze this filmmaker’s insertion in the conflicts between cinema and the State, we used interviews and testimonies from Back himself that were published on the press at the time, and understood that his fiction movies were a form of positioning himself on his context’s political and aesthetic matters. |
