    This thesis seeks to think, from the fields of cinema and geography, on the landscape as a spatiotemporal experience. The landscape experience emerges from the encounter of the body and its senses with the world, producing affections, poetic images and spatial imaginations that bring with them political implications related to the way we see the world. To think about spatial experiences and the way they produce a landscape becoming, we mobilize cinema which, according to Deleuze (2018) creates a direct presentation of time, and produces a new image paradigm, the time-image. The image ceases to be sensorimotor, which was prolonged in the action and becomes opticalsound, that is, it makes time and thought sensitive, makes them visible and sound (DELEUZE, 2018, p.35). Something similar occurs to the landscape that figures here as an experience of time brought about by certain spatialities. Cinema thus contributes to thinking about Geography and its concepts, and is no longer just a collection of representations of places. The cinema currently produced in Pernambuco offers us the possibility of thinking about these experiences, as it builds, in many moments, different encounters between subjects and the world. It presents clairvoyant characters who face the landscape and the affections that are produced by these encounters or connections. Pernambuco's contemporary cinema builds different spatialities: urban, agrarian and natural spaces, and characters who are, in turn, affected by these spaces. In the landscape as becoming or experience of time, these spaces and their respective problems provoke affects that can be negative or positive, experiences of freedom, authoritarianism, security, fear, beauty, ugliness, place, non-place, among others. In addition, Pernambuco's cinema updates poetic images and spatial imaginations of the Brazilian Northeast, constructs a landscape policy that thematizes the city of Recife and its problems, as well as other spaces; it breaks and, at the same time, reproduces regionalism as a spatial imaginary and, above all, as an authorial and conceptual cinema, makes us reflect on the concept of landscape and the way in which geographic space is imagined and reimagined.

    Recife cinemática: as paisagens fílmicas em Amarelo Manga e Febre de Rato

    The urban landscape is constituted by multiple layers of meaning. Considering it as a text, allows us to access the symbolic content through which the dominant or alternative cultures reproduce their norms, values and worldviews. In this methodological approach the material landscape itself, in all its forms of expression, appears as a text that must be read and interpreted at length. Evidences of the meaning of landscapes are also found within cultural and aesthetic products in the society: in paintings, in literature, in music and in films. The latter play an important role in the structuring of contemporary geographies. Cities, in those cases, do not serve only as mere background, they have become cinematic cities as they gave meaning to cityscapes. Within this context, this study presents a discourse analysis, and an interpretative approach, of the cinematic Recife presented in the films Amarelo Manga (2003) and Febre do Rato (2012), both directed by the Brazilian filmmaker Claudio Assis. This work’s intention is, thus, to reveal the image of Recife through the understanding of its filmic landscapes. It was found that Amarelo Manga and Febre do Rato build a deleted and/or alternative Recife landscape and replicate a contestatory discourse about the city from different formats: on the one hand violence or shocking images that show the landscape degradation from social and historical potions of Recife and its peripheries in Amarelo Manga; and the other, a utopian discourse, allowing for another way to see and experience the city, and the black-and-white photograph that adds a poetic meaning to these same landscapes
