| Summary: | This article analyzes the censorship of the film Prata Palomares (André Faria Jr.), produced in 1971 and censored the following year by Divisão de Censura de Diversões Públicas (DCDP), and the film was totally banned until 1976 - when it was released for exhibition in festivals – and was out of the commercial circuit until 1983, when EMBRAFILME distributed it. The question that we will be working on is: to what extent has the censorship of the film inserted itself in a set of actions perpetrated by the civil-military dictatorship in the construction of an official version on the armed struggle? We assume as a starting point of our article the administrative process deposited in the DCDP fund, even if the film, the film’s publicity material and articles published in the written press are subject to consideration in some aspects. As a methodology, we use documentary analysis based on Diplomatics. |
