Abstract

This article presents issues surrounding the concept of national cinema
as a form of existence/resistance and articulates the spatial dimension that
limits the consumption of cultural objects, because they do not have free trade
capacity. National identities continue to press the cinema, participating in the
production of the representation that triggers inclusion or exclusion mechanisms
within a geographical area, reflecting on the cultural production and on the arts
by considering the observation of the immediate data from the embarrassments
and limitations of the reality thought and their real capacity to produce films.
The limitations are, for example, different training and expertise levels, as well as
unequal financing capacity and circulation capacity. These elements redound to
markedly different aesthetic products.
