This paper’s aim is to contribute on the overall understanding of the possible effectiveness of public policies related to the visibility and social inclusion of different ethnic groups, based on Canadian experience. The analysis is centered on the role played by the media, particularly cinema. Theoretically, cultural productions are conceived as complex processes that can’t be separated from the power relationships of a given society, and their impact on the public goes beyond immediate reception and act as very important symbolic references of contemporary societies. In order to fulfill the proposed goal the following movie pictures are analyzed: Claude Godbout’s Generation 101; Athom Egoyan’s Adoration; and Deepa Mehta’ s Heaven on Earth.
Key words: cinema, interculturality, cultural representation, public policies.Downloads
