Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this article is to analyze South American film productions between the years 2017 and 2019 considering their repercussion in the media, especially from the performance of conservative groups from the countries of the chosen films. To this end, we used three feature films and one medium-length film that deal with related themes such as religion, family and gender, central issues defended by conservative groups in Paraguay, Chile and Brazil. We consider the relationship between cinema and politics from the analysis of the political context of the countries with the stories developed. The films presented, although distinct, shared elements since they discuss the traditional conceptions of the Christian family, but do not present the same repercussion in the media due to the contents addressed. To develop the film analysis, we started from Marc Ferro's operation to understand the development of the latent content of the film from the political and social context of the countries where the films were produced.
