O pensamento negro de Beatriz Nascimento no filme Ôrí de Raquel Gerber

Abstract

The present article has as general objective to analyze the importance of Ôrí for the Brazilian cinema, entering in the militant narrative of Beatriz Nascimento in the formatting of the script. The production of the film took place for eleven years, between 1977 and 1988, and narrates black social movements of that period, based on the political problems they experienced in that period. The space is the quilombo, which is where blacks danced, worshiped entities, sang songs that represented their origins, that is, rescues the stories and memory of black people. The methodology adopted is bibliographic, collected in books and scientific articles. The results show that Raquel Gerber's film brought great contributions to cinema, by showing the experience of black people in Brazil, through their anguish and suffering that were rescued from colonial Brazil, in the decolonization process experienced in that period.
