The teaching of cinema in Basic Education: legal aspects

In this article, we will present a research about the presence of the cinema in the basic formal school of education from the validity of several laws. The teaching of cinema in education can happen in many ways. It can happen through the discipline of art, since cinema, especially in our studies, can be contemplated as an artistic language, besides the others already existing in this discipline (theater, dance, visual arts and music). But it can also be seen in school from the law 13.006 of 2014 which institutes movie screening of at least two hours of national films per month. In this way, we could conclude that cinematographic art is not only pedagogically necessary for the growth of the student as an individual, but also an area of knowledge that must, legally, be seen in school.
