Abstract

This article tries to perceive, in Mauro em Caiena (Leonardo Mouramateus. Fortaleza, 2012) and White Out, Black In (Adirley Queirós. Brasília, 2014), how these films deals with fabu­lation and memory in a creative perspective to think about city. We see the films as machines — in the way of Guattari’s concept — noticing the agencies and connections they do. We will look also for the form the films use “science fiction” elements, extrapolating real without going too far from it.
