Abstract: In recent years, first-person film production, which elaborates memories and intimate feelings, has been gaining more space in Brazilian filmography. At the same speed as the production of “intimate writings” or “writings of the self”, its critical fortune has also expanded. Part of the theoretical foundation still draws from the literary field, in authors such as Philippe Lejeune or Serge Doubrovsky. Here we will start with a question: in a first-person film, what can the biography of the director say? To problematize this, we will study the works and biography of filmmaker Cristiano Burlan. Born in Porto Alegre, but based in Capão Redondo, São Paulo, the director lived with the fact of losing his father, his brother - murdered by the militia -, and his mother, victim of feminicide. He made films about this, making the “Trilogia do Luto” (Trilogy of Mourning), which we will discuss throughout the work.
