Abstract

We propose in this paper a theoretical purview within the fields of Anthropology and Cinema, Public Health, Creative Processes, and Youth Studies to analyze youth film production on the outskirts of São Paulo, as a social practice tied to cinema. Data from this academic literature was triangulated with that the data collected in ethnographic research and data constituted through the analysis of a short-film virtual bank, projecting media technologies as sources of information on behavioral and social characteristics. Results include identifying diverse social expressions of young people as being specific to each community, and also revealed in the films produced; the creative process moves between real and virtual worlds through the use of social networks by youth groups while emerging as a research locus by evidencing a series of choices; collective artistic creation as a preventive strategy in the field of Public Health.
