Film Question

Prompt 1: We have seen four filmsSecond Mother, Aquarius, Casa Grande, and Im Still Hereabout or involving contemporary, upper middle class white families. These films place alot of visual and conceptual emphasis on the socio-political significance of the familieshouses, the spatial divisions of power in these homes, and more broadly, in the cities asa whole. Starting from an analysis of these houses, compare how two of the above filmsvisually represent power in terms of gender, race, and class. You may want to considerissues like: point of view, the relation of power and space, surveillance, etc.

Prompt 2: One leitmotif in the course has been the movement from a cinema and media dominatedby white, male, straight directors to a cinema and media more open to formerlymarginalized voices including women, workers, blacks, northeasterners, indigenouspeople prisoners, etc. Using examples from the documentaries, short clips, TV dramas,music videos and so forth, comment on these trengjvds as shown in Brazilian media.
