Abstract

The present article intends to set light on the movies that were part of the so called Caravana Farkas (Farkas Caravan), searching them for a set of homologies with the direct and vérité cinemas. We have focus on identifying the distinguishing aspects of such movies taking in the whole of Brazilian documentary history, since both direct cinema and vérité cinema were born almost simultaneously in France, in the United States and in Canada related to the names of Jean Rouch; Maysles brothers, Leacock e Pennebaker; and Michel Brault, respectively. From this perspective, then, we consider the moments that approximate or distance us from possibly considering the Caravana Farkas movies as belonging to such movements in Brazil.
