Abstract: Studying gender is trying to understand what mechanisms, strategies, means of circulation of discourses produce it. Cinema is one of these mechanisms, it is a genre technology. Thinking about Brazilian film production allows us to understand the reverberations it exerts on genre productions in our country, especially those related to the LGBTQIA+ population. From the 1930s to the 2000s, LGBTQIA+ were presented as hypersexualized, laughable or abject. Starting in 2010, a new configuration of LGBTQIA+ films are produced: main characters, showing their daily lives, socioeconomic contexts and social conflicts. From the 2010s onwards, we entered a new direction in the frames of our view of the genre and cinema in Brazil, with the growth of documentaries. These process bring us new reflections on contemporary cinematographic productions and their effects on the materiality of deviant bodies.
Key-word: cinema; gender; performativity.
