Description
In June 2023, for the Podcast section of the “Speculum” project, professor and filmmaker Raquel Schefer accepted my invitation to explain her relationship with the concept of autobiographical documentary and to explain a little about her creative process, between academic writing and the realisation of eight short films, which she divides into two main and six secondary films. The hypothesis put forward here is to analyse Schefer’s work as a proposal for expanded cinema, with the idea of constructing an imaginary counterfield that materialises in words, gestures and objects, but also in academic writings and artistic presentations of her work.

Em junho de 2023, para a seção Podcast do projeto “Speculum”, a professora e cineasta Raquel Schefer aceitou o meu convite feito para expor a sua relação com o conceito de documentário autobiográfico e explicar um pouco do seu processo criativo, entre a escrita académica e a realização de oito curtas-metragens, que a própria divide em 2 principais e 6 secundarias. Avança-se aqui a hipótese de analisar o trabalho de Schefer como uma proposta de cinema expandido, numa ideia de construção de um contracampo imaginário que se materializa em palavras, gestos e objetos, mas também em escritos académicos e apresentações artísticas do seu trabalho.
