摘要：We seek to contribute to the debate on innovative and horizontal educational processes by targeting complex realities and their potential for the emerging education of non-formal areas. We intend to answer the following questions: Does field work combined with audiovisual production contribute to teacher-researcher education? Is Paulo Freire's dialogical proposal allied to the actor-network theory a way to the production of collective knowledge in a territory full of inequalities, hierarchies and injustices? In order to answer the structural questions of the article, we performed the following steps: i) formative meetings with students of the Pedagogy Graduation Course of the Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ); ii) completion of field research in the buffer zone of the Restinga de Jurubatiba National Park; iii) experimental production of four documentaries in the studied territory; and iv) reflections on the field research in the university. We have identified that students, by observing reality without predetermined categories and with the camera in hands, have experienced a specific kind of production of knowledge about reality. This experience has led us to think about a specific kind of cinema, which we call Freirean Environmental Cinema (“Cinema Ambiental Freiriano”).
