Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze the various ways used by the Brazilian movie directors to represent brazilians Indians in the 70s. The anaüyses carried out here use basic concepts of historic-politic data and film analyses. One of the points that is questioned in this work is how the cultural policy of that period, imposed by the government, has influenced the film makers in their representation of Indians and how stereotypes commes in images creating prejudices or positives images of brazilian Indians. The representation or the fabrication of the Other is never neutral due to the director's own fantasies, excesses, projections, ideologies and political interests
