SUMMARY:

This study investigates the relationship between the landscape of Cabedelo, Paraíba, and
the new cinematic narratives emerging there, as a transformative force for stereotypes
about the Brazilian Northeast, using the presence of mangroves, forests, and the sea as
physiographic elements, combined with its urbanity. Thus, the aim is to investigate the
stylistic procedures present in this cinema and evaluate new ways of representing the
Northeastern landscape that encompasses the culture and identity of its own people. To
this end, the methodology of Qualitative Interviews, conceived by Bauer and Gaskell
(2003), and Stylistic Analysis developed by David Bordwell (2020), will be adopted,
linked to other actors that together facilitate an understanding of this phenomenon,
revealing the sensitive and narrative strategies exposed in this recent movement in
Cabedelo cinema, based on the films Coletivo de Multitude (2019); A República da
Selva (2021); and O Passeio da Medusa (2024), all directed by Paraíba filmmaker
Manoel Fernandes Neto, but not limited to them, as there are historical, contemporary
and geographical intersections that reach other directors who inevitably permeate our
writing. The expected results include understanding how the natural and urban
landscape of Cabedelo, combined with awareness of physiography and cultural identity,
influences new cinematic representations of the Northeast, through what has been

identified as a conscious cinema contributing to the field of media studies and its social
practices, expanding through cinema the possibility of environmental preservation of
the planet.
