Carr?ra analyses three groups of unconventional documentaries focused on distinct geographies: Bras?lia - \u003ci\u003eThe Age of Stone \u003c\/i\u003e(2013) and \u003ci\u003eWhite Out, Black In\u003c\/i\u003e (2014); Rio de Janeiro - \u003ci\u003eExPerimetral\u003c\/i\u003e (2016), \u003ci\u003eThe Harbour\u003c\/i\u003e (2013), \u003ci\u003eTropical Curse\u003c\/i\u003e (2016) and \u003ci\u003eHU Enigma\u003c\/i\u003e (2011); and indigenous territories - \u003ci\u003eCorumbiara: They Shoot Indians, Don't They?\u003c\/i\u003e (2009), \u003ci\u003eTava, The House of Stone\u003c\/i\u003e (2012), \u003ci\u003eTwo Villages, One Path\u003c\/i\u003e (2008) and \u003ci\u003eGuarani Exile\u003c\/i\u003e (2011). In portraying ruinscapes in different ways, these powerful films articulate critiques of the notions of progress and (under) development in the Brazilian nation. \u003cbr\u003eCarr?ra invites the reader to walk amid the debris and reflect upon the strategies of spatial representation employed by the filmmakers. He addresses this body of films in relation to the legacies of Cinema Novo, Tropic?lia and Cinema Marginal, asking how these presentday films dialogue with or depart from previous traditions. Through this dialogue, he argues, the selected films challenge not only documentary-making conventions but also the country's official narrative.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuilherme Carr?ra\u003c\/b\u003e is a Brazilian film researcher and curator.
