The fictionalization is inherent to the documentary narrative, even if it puts as a genre committ ed to journalism and therefore the real. For this commitment to referentiality, the marks of fiction have always been a reason for its concealment effort. The discussion that updates the debate, however, concerns a trend present in contemporary audiovisual production to abolish this concern, explaining the processes of production and assembly. More than showing, documentaries want, in this process, discuss the impossibility of making aseptic real record, promoting new formats, positioning it somewhere between the journalistic and artistic.
Key words: documentary, fiction, reality, new technologies
