RESUMO

The purpose of the research is to evaluate the work of São Paulo moviemaker Luís Sérgio Person (1936-1976) in the Brazilian cultural scenario of the 1960s. The starting point was the documentary currently being made by Person´s daughter, Marina Person, for understanding the loss of her father. The documentary Person (1999) discusses his artistic legacy, his identity as a moviemaker and the subjectivity of the autobiographical streamline. It also places under the spotlight the work of a unique moviemaker who managed to introduce a new concept to the Brazilian cinema of his time. Person opens the path to discuss the problematic meanders that surround the urban, middle-class individual as a prey to the contingencies introduced by the economic development. Highlights of those new paths include discussions on the national-popular ideas, the Cinema Novo trends, the concept of a cinéma d´auteur and the so-called Third World cinema. All these questions contribute to place Person´s output against the mainstream of his time, at the same time they outline the boundaries of the present study.
