Resumo

Este artigo explora os festivais de cinema dedicados à migração como um tema interdisciplinar fértil para investigação e análise a uma escala internacional. O principal objetivo é realizar uma análise aprofundada do CineMigrante, Festival de Cine y Formación en Derechos Humanos (CineMigrante, Festival de Cinema e Formação em Direitos Humanos), que se realiza em Buenos Aires, Argentina, desde 2010. É um estudo de caso valioso para compreender a importância dos festivais de cinema na promoção da justiça social, no incentivo ao envolvimento comunitário e na defesa dos direitos dos migrantes. Os seus métodos pioneiros e a sua influência fazem dele um modelo fundamental para iniciativas semelhantes em todo o mundo. O enquadramento teórico foca no conceito de autoria para destacar como a inovação social está intimamente relacionada com a criatividade e a capacidade disruptiva de um festival de cinema. Foi adotada uma combinação abrangente de metodologias quantitativas e qualitativas, incluindo uma análise formal do conteúdo do catálogo do festival e um estudo detalhado dos elementos estruturais, visuais e elementos visuais auxiliares presentes no site do festival, nas plataformas dos média sociais e nos conteúdos escritos. As variáveis estudadas incluem critérios de curadoria, atividades de programação, interações com os média e organizações da comunidade local, imagem corporativa e estratégias de comunicação. Os resultados indicam que o sucesso social do CineMigrante assenta na sua abordagem disruptiva e inovadora para conquistar audiências, desafiar narrativas e atuar como catalisador de transformação social.
