A tessitura dos fios de Ariadne: arquivo e censura cinematográfica no Brasil

Abstract

The paper broaches the cinema censorship in Brazil along the civil-military dictatorship (1964-1965) by means of the study of an official document found in the proceedings of the film Toda nudez será castigada (Brazil, 1973), by the director Arnaldo Jabor. The Ordinance 3/3, of June 20, 1973, attributed to itself the reexamination and decision over this film and other eight ones - Sopro no coração (France, 1971), A classe operária vai ao paraíso (Italy, 1971), Mimi, o metalúrgico (Italy,1972), Sacco e Vanzetti (Italy,1971), A aventura é uma aventura (France, 1972), Cama com música (Denmark, 1972), Queimada (England, 1969) e Os garotos virgens de Ipanema (Brazil, 1973). These proceedings are analyzed along with other ones that compound the archive of the Censorship and Public Amusement Division (DCDP), which contains over thirty thousand proceedings, besides administrative documents. The aim is to understand the reading keys used by censors and the negotiations for prohibition and liberation performed by DCDP
