Sistematização da metodologia de uma oficina de cinema de gambiarra na perspectiva da tecnologia social

Abstract

This research aims to develop studies on low-cost cinema workshop productions, following the studies of polytechnic education (Saviani, 1989) and Social Technology (Dagnino, 2014). Polytechnic education offers a pedagogical proposal for audiovisual teaching experiments with a community that learns the technique, produces technologies needed to improve living conditions, and aims for social transformation. Individuals can understand the function of this work within their specific social context, making polytechnic education a concept linked to praxis (FREIRE, 1987). In parallel, Social Technology distinguishes this project from others because it does not turn audiovisual work into a profitable mass industry. Furthermore, the workshop project is transversal to reflections and critiques about the social role of individuals involved within the contemporary neoliberal context, providing a greater understanding of the media production process and alienation through mechanized labor. The proposal, therefore, is to systematize ideas for audiovisual studies with few resources, respecting natural resources, making technology more accessible, democratizing knowledge, focusing on the real needs of a community, and giving those involved the possibility of self-management (reapplication of the studies), promoting the group's emancipation. In the case of a cinema study with few resources, the idea starts from the principle that even with fewer concrete artifacts, it is still possible to use sound and image tools to create more creative narratives. With little material in production, the goal was to provide a first contact with cinema to express creativity, as it is necessary to find solutions for output within the cinematic language. Therefore, the concepts of Social Technology and Polytechnic Education support the methodologies of the proposed workshop, enabling the thinking of cinema as a tool for narrative power and social awareness.
