Escadas : a mulher negra como protagonista.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to make a technical report of the fiction short film that proposes to show the black woman from a perspective away from the stereotypes shown in many audiovisual productions. The short film lasts approximately 20 min and has in its cast Jamila Facury, Cely Farias, Ingrid Castro, Denis Almeida, Cláuber Müller, Edilete Bezerra, Flávio Farias, among other actors know in the Paraíba scene. It was set in João Pessoa and uses two spaces to represent the two moments of Alissa’s narrative, the protagonist: the UFPB Clinical School of Psychology, for realistic moments with the psychologist, and the Lima Penante Theater, to portray the character's imagination, while she tells the events to her therapist. In an extremely chauvinistic and racist country, this work proposes rethinking how the media portray the various minority groups, so as to maintain the values that put the cis and straight white man in power and the rest as supporting history.
