<\/em>E<\/strong>Parliamentary Amendment No. 2025.282.67385<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cinema has always looked to literature for themes and plots that have given rise to films of the most varied genres.
<\/em>Many of these films achieved great audience success and\/or became true classics.
<\/em>The written word, a fundamental tool of Literature, perhaps demands more effort than the image to be understood by the receiver. But both, written word and image, require the human mind in the process of defining the discourse. And the word itself... \u201c"imagine"\u201d<\/em> This already allows us to understand that all human thought is structured as an image. In other words, the world can only be thought about through images.
<\/em>Following this preamble, we want to say that the films shown in the sessions CINEMA & LITERATURE<\/strong> They seek, in various ways, to account for this relationship between the written word and the image, in a process that scholars would call transcoding.<\/p>\n
