SUMMARY:

This work aims to understand the changes and arrangements of spaces and territorialities occupied by the elderly in Brazilian cinematographic works between 1997 and 2020, based on the following films: Central Station (1998), Copacabana (2001), Madame Satã (2002), The Three Marias (2002), House of Sand (2005), The year my parents went on vacation (2006), Santiago (2007), Chega de Saudade (2008), My friend Claudia (2009), Stories that only exist when remembered (2012), Sweet Mother (2012), Aquarius (2016), Divine Divas (2016), Greta (2019), Bacurau (2019) among others. Our basic questions are: what are the transformations of the elderly and their spacialities in contemporary Brazilian cinema between 1997 and 2020 and how such changes are situated in relation to the national cinematographic tradition? How do such displacements dialogue with the recent demands that reinvented the elderly as a subject in Brazil at the turn of the 20th century to the 21st? In order to achieve this aim, it was necessary to carry out a history of old age within the cinematographic context based on the tradition of Brazilian cinema that goes back to the 1960s. This historically constructed figure has been traversed by all the social hierarchies, from which cinema has appropriated itself. In this sense, our research highlights the usual and unusual identity roles played by the elderly (elderly women, elderly belonging to disadvantaged classes, privileged elderly and belonging to wealthy classes, LGBTQIAP+ elderly, black elderly), observing a dialectic between exclusion and representativeness in the 21st century. To this end, the research starts from the documentary survey with the use of several sources: the films, the set of non-filmic material such as specialized journal, interviews or texts that had an impact on the press, books focused on the field of History, Geriatrics and Cinema. Within this perspective and within a framework of analysis of the film's structures, qualitative and filmic analyzes are carried out. The film analysis also involves the iconographic interpretation to evaluate the social transformations of the spaces and roles attributed to the elderly, using the general acquisition of images in the cinema as sources by the historian.
