This research investigates the cinematographic process of creation from the theoretical-practical experience of the Free Cinema School of Nova Iguaçu (ELC), located in the neighborhood of Austin, in the Baixada Fluminense region. It is a study carried out during 2014, based on an approach to the school methodology and observing the lessons of one of its classes - specifically the tools that culminated in the creation of the Montão de Coisa (Heap of Thing) videodance. The empirical research presented here is based on the records of the audiovisual workshops given by the school mediators, notes in field notebook, photographic records and videos made by the researcher, on the material publicized by ELC and also on two interviews with the producer, given during field research. Originating from the concepts of ELC methodology, the categories body, word and territory appear in this thesis as keys to the reading of the creation process in order to highlight the relations that permeate the cinematographic making in the school experience and that mobilize the creation of the aforementioned videodance. The undertaken analysis reveals how the encounter of these subjects with the cinema, crossed by creative and subjective processes, allows them to experience an experience of otherness, that is, of encounter with the other and with the world. In addition, the tensions that permeate this process potentiate the aesthetic encouragement, thus giving to this experience also an aesthetic character. While the word appears as a form of expression, emphasizing a symbolic field, and valuing the linguistic and gestural singularities of students and mediators, the body emerges with its tensions (the one that operates the camera and the one that is filmed by it) and the gesture extracted, brought and addressed by the students and mediators. At last, it is with and in the territory that these actions take place, making it a fundamental piece to understand how the actions of creation of the ELC happen. Thus, thinking of the expanded cinema as one that goes beyond the limits of conventional cinema (that one crystallized by industrial and entertainment cinema) and that is projected on other screens, in other spaces, it is concluded that this is the cinema experienced in Austin. Seen by the bias of an expansion, amid the actions that are outcome of the dispositif and tensions that permeate the process of creation, it [the cinema] is constituted amongst the inventiveness of the daily life of that space and the creativity of the involved subjects.
