From the construction of a dialogue between the Brazilian short film Nunca é noite no mapa by Ernesto de Carvalho (2016) and the Argentinean feature film El escarabajo de oro (2014), co-directed by Alejo Moguillansky and the Swedish artist Fia-Stina Sandlund, we propose to investigate the project of a cinematographic cartography based on a pre-existing national map. This project gives rise to a process of re-appropriation of peripheral spaces through a new critical
narrative. Finally, we propose to study the point of view of both filmmakers as a way of cinematising the territory and producing a new narrative trajectory capable of displacing the colonial configuration of the territory.
