Estéticas das resistências e o documentário: Diário de Exus
(2019) SOBRINHO, Gilberto Alexandre
From 2013 to 2016, three documentary projects were developed under my direction, in the metropolitan region of Campinas-SP, which resulted in the “Trilogia Afro-Campineira”. There are three short films focused on protagonists of cultural, religious and artistic processes, all defenders of manifestations of African matrixes and their potent hybridisms. The films are Diário de Exus (2015), The Dance of Friendship, Stories of Urucungos, Puítas and Quijengues (2016) and The Woman from Casa do Arco-Íris (2017/2018). All the films had funding sources such as FAEPEX/UNICAMP, FICC and the São Paulo State Short Film Stimulus Award and had a network of partners, from the university (UNICAMP) and from the communities and cultural points involved. In films, what I call the “aesthetics of resistance” are developed, prioritizing Afro-diasporic narratives, in a creative process in which aesthetics and politics converge. Aesthetically, it is about highlighting the convergence and the dispute of the observational, participative, poetic and performative modes of documentary making, aimed at subjects carrying Afro-centered cultural codes. Politically, the role of culture and religion in the affirmation and construction of black identity in Brazil is highlighted. This text documents the process of making the first short film, Diário de Exus.
