Abstract

The technological transformations that allow us, today, to be productors and consumers of content, expanded not only the access to the means of production, but also enable the emergence of new spaces for exchange and circulation of independent audiovisual production. In this sense, this research aims to investigate the practices and strategies of production and circulation of independent audiovisual works in Rio Grande do Norte from 2010 to 2018, considering the formats of short and médium films, feature films and webseries. Adopting cartography as a methodological method for audiovisual studies, establishing dialogues with Deleuze and Guattari (1995), Rolnik (2006), Barros and Kastrup (2015); Rosario and Aguiar (2012); Cesar et al. (2013); Rosário (2016), in dialogue with independent audiovisual production in contemporary times (IKEDA, 2018; MIGLIORIN, 2012; OLIVEIRA, 2015). After an initial look at the trends presented by the productions exhibited at the festival circuit in the State, we conducted in-depth interviews with seven directors and collectives working in the period, which reveal a heterogeneity of production and circulation methods, assuming from the most autonomous and self-financed approaches, even productions with industrial aspirations, configuring a multiplicity of independent audiovisual production in the State of Rio Grande do Norte.
