Abstract

This study reflects on the multiple narrative plans in the movie Ventos de Agosto (August Winds, Gabriel Mascaro, 2014) and how the fictional diegesis is interrupted by significantly documentary images, representing a disruption in its narrative cadence. With this purpose, we analyze some operations required to the classic fiction in a cinematographic discourse - such as figurativization, erase of the support and diegetic creation – and how they are not materialized in many moments of the film, in which there is a great approach to the characteristics that tend to documentary. Finally, we aim to understand the movie as a hybrid discourse, the result of an intermediate narrative space.
