Abstract

This article analyzes the short film Mulheres Negras: Projeto de Mundo (Day Rodrigues; Lucas Ogasawara, 2016) and the feature Sementes: Mulheres Pretas no Poder (Éthel Oliveira; Júlia Mariano, 2020) both documentaries. The first film focuses on the narratives of nine black women that converge with important discussions of black feminism. It contribues to the awareness process regarding the realities of black women. The other, in turn, shows a new perspective in national cinematography when talk about the participation of black women in the politics, and representes a maturation of cinema made by black women filmmakers. Both films contribute to a process that stands against the categoria of subordination relegated to black women historically.

Keywords: Black women filmakers, Black women narratives, Political participation.
