“Filmes de prédio: espaço, arquitetura e heterotopia em filmes” [Films about buildings: space, architecture and heterotopia in films” by Maria Helena Braga e Vaz da Costa (2021) | Article

Abstract: “This article proposes to investigate the singularities of representations of the urban space and architectural landscape of the city of Recife in the films Deserto Feliz (2008), by Paulo Caldas, Um lugar ao sol (2009), by Gabriel Mascaro, and Aquarius (2016), by Kleber Mendonça Filho. It discusses how these representations serve as structures that outline the geographical imagination of the space and landscape of Recife, attributing meaning to the experience of living in the place and the correlation between the real and filmic landscapes of the city, contextualized in a socio-spatial order that is established as heterotopic.”

The article is available in Portuguese and in open access on the website of USP’s Significação: Revista de Cultura Audiovisual [Journal of Audiovisual Culture].
