Este trabalho analisa o objeto do olhar a cidade do Recife-PE e as suas características espaciais e sociais a partir da perspectiva antropológica e fílmica. A discussão tem como ponto de partida a questão de documentar e ficcionalizar a cidade por meio das narrativas fílmicas do espaço urbano, e também de como o olhar sobre a cidade pode ser analisada através da ótica espacial e fílmica. Considera-se, portanto, os arranjos espaciais, imagéticos, identitários e estéticos presentes no âmbito urbano para então discursar acerca do problema central deste trabalho: os olhares fílmicos construídos da cidade do Recife-PE por meio das narrativas fílmicas dos curtas-metragens pernambucanos. Dessa indagação parte-se às contribuições do imaginário urbano, da memória e da identidade como elementos que constituem a construção do olhar para a cidade.Palavras-chave: Olhares fílmicos. Cidade. Recife-PE.Memories, narrative policies and dicotomies of the city: Film Looks on Recife-PE    AbstractThis work analyzes the object of the look at the city of Recife-PE and its spatial and social characteristics from an anthropological and film perspective. The discussion has as its starting point the question of documenting and fictionalizing the city through the film narratives of urban space, as well as how the view of the city can be analyzed through space and film optics. The spatial, imaginary, identity, and aesthetic arrangements present in the urban context are then considered, and the discourse about the central problem of this work is considered: the film-based views constructed from the city of Recife-PE through the film narratives of Pernambucan short films. From this question we start with the contributions of the urban imaginary, memory and identity as elements that constitute the construction of the look for the city.Keywords: Film looks. City. Recife-PE.

After WWII, films accompanied the reconstruction of Europe’s destroyed cities. Many contained historical footage. How was this material used, to articulate visions of reconstruction, what happened to the material later on, and how do the films relate to municipal film archives? This question is approached in terms of collective cognitive functions, applied to a media archaeological case study of Rotterdam. In focus are two audiovisual landmarks, from 1950 and 1966, and their historical footage, all with different temporal horizons. This study attempts to position the city film archive in media history.
