Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss the audiovisual production as an activity to identify the “environmental impacts”, in environmental education in the context of petrol and gas Brazilian licensing process. The question is: Can collective film production be an instrument to express the notion of “environmental impact” of which the social groups belong to? Such a question is answered by reading the documentaries aimed at strengthening local social struggles. Thirty documentaries produced in 2007 were analyzed in ten counties located on the coast of Rio de Janeiro. It shows that the aesthetic form of the documentaries, the search for the look of “affected” and, above all, the direction of the camera reveal nuances of how the groups understand the “environmental impacts” of the economic development process, contributing to further discussions regarding the local implementation of environmental policy, for example, democratic and participatory territorial management. The study concludes pointing out that the production of documentaries as social participation instrument in this case seem to have punctual and temporary effects.
