(Auto)biografia e performance em Stories we tell (2012), de Sarah Polley

Abstract

This article investigates the (auto)biographical procedures adopted by Sarah Polley in her documentary Stories we tell. For this purpose I focus on the chorus of voices that compose the film, the lack of hierarchy between archive images and the recreated images. Thus, it would be possible to think about an autobiography theory sustained by the filmmaker as well as the performative function of storytelling.
