description The movement of underground cinema emerges in Latin America in the late sixties and, through radical formal experimentation, it tries to shape a political discourse. These films confront both with author cinema and with militant cinema. Apart from a shared countercultural attitude, the underground movement adopts different traits in each country. This article studies the modes implemented by Brazilian udigrudi to attack the cinema d’auteur in order to produce the figure of an author with mutant identity: cinematographic author is not anymore a subjectivity expressing itself artistically nor the political spokeperson of the opressed people but, instead, a sniper constantly in movement.
