Created by the Municipal Chamber of Rio de Janeiro in 1951, during the government of Mayor João Carlos Vital, the Cinematographic Festival of the Federal District has among its initial objects incentivize the Rio audiovisual industry and stimulate tourist activity in the city, in order to contribute to disseminate to his image for the rest of the country and the world. With its organization attributed to the Department of Tourism of the Federal District, the project has a short life, not just over ten years of existence. Despite its short trajectory, the Festival occupies a fundamental space for the construction of Rio's cultural policies in its context, this being the case study of Capitality in dispute: the film festival of the Federal District and other festivals in Brazil in 1950. The work seeks, in the foreground, to historicize and problematize the Festival as a project marked by political intentions and perspectives, as well as debate on the period's own audiovisual genres, such as Chanchadas. In the background, Pinto e Mager presents a provocative and singular study, of a monographic nature, that stimulates reflections on the theoretical and methodological operations of the study of festivals in historiography.
