Summary: This study makes a analyses of feature-length films 5X Favela Agora por nós mesmos (2010), Cinco Vezes Favela (1962) and Cidade de Deus (2002) in order to verify if there are differences between the way different social groups see one another. Those films represent the favelas (slums) from two perspectives: by the outsiders‟ and the insiders‟ point of view. So, it tries to verify if the non-hegemonic films emphasize the stereotypes created and emphasized from the mainstream films, if they contest them or simply show a different point of view about the cultural and social aspects of the favela and social world around it. From the Cultural Studies perspective, from the process of creating cultural identities, from the representations systems and from the media‟s influence on the social imaginary in the contemporary world, this study uses the representation systems to analyse how the characters are shown, which social position they and the directors occupy in the film; and if necessary the way the themes and the dialogues are shown.
