Abstract

It is known that the first sessions of the cinematographer, interest aroused by the Catholics on the theme of cinema, and his attitude to it was underscored throughout the twentieth century, including being the subject of concerns by the papal encyclicals.In Brazil, the cinema was already seen by many as a way to “educate” the population, and thus, the Catholic film clubs in question have adopted this proposal, thus aiming to make the vision of the film they had as coherent, or even correct, a broader view, based on the notion of morality held by the Church.In the middle of last century, a strong Catholic orientation movement stimulated a model of film culture that culminated in courses on film and educators in the foundation of film clubs, in Belo Horizonte and in several other cities.
