Abstract

The aim of this text is a reflection based on a geopoetic narrative about the wanderings and the cinematic poetic of artist Rogério Sganzerla in Boca do Lixo and around the world. Boca do Lixo was located in the Santa Efigênia neighborhood in the center of São Paulo, today also known as Cracolândia, was an active hub of intense independent film production in the sixties and seventies. Sganzerla was an active film critic of that period, writing remarkable articles for important publications and he filmed several scenes in this São Paulo toponym of The Red Light Bandit (1968), one of the most important films in the history of Brazilian cinema. Based on a great friendship and a creative collaboration over the last fifteen years of life with the filmmaker (1946-2004), this text was part of my PhD research at PPGCA-UFF, entitled Rogério Sganzerla: cinematic poetics of invention.
