Brincantes de novembro

Abstract

The Festa d'Ajuda is a popular manifestation multi religious that is quite significant for the Cachoeiran people. I present in this work the paths that brought me to this documentary, Brincantes de Novembro. I comment on some aspects of my personal and academic life that influenced in my work of conclusion of course and I talk about how the location of the Cinema e Audiovisual course in Cachoeira influenced in the choice of the theme about the Festa de Nossa Senhora d'Ajuda and how I allowed us to thoroughly research on this popular manifestation. I bring as a highlight to this work the pornophonic songs played and sung at the party, as well as the transgressive behavior of the players during the festivities, which mark the resistance of the black people, repressed from the origins of the party, when slavery persisted. For the construction of this documentary, I bring images captured during 8 years of celebration and I use testimonials of residents and party players. The documentary is about 27 minutes long.
