Abstract

We intend to discuss in this article the factors that allow the emergence of the Brazilian audiovisual production in the periphery. The idea defended here is three important points that allow the development of this production: cultural politics undertaken in the last 10 years, both at the municipal and federal level, the development of digital technologies, which was popularized allowing easier access to the means of production and, finally, new politics proposals of representation, attempting to distance themselves from the idea of unique locations peripheral areas of insecurity, danger and violence. 

Key words: periphery cinema, cultural politics, digital representation.
