The research First person documentary: audio-visual intimate narratives aims to study first person documentaries, works in which the author tells his history. By approaching reality through a personal perspective, the artist shifts the narrative focus from the outer world to his subject´s private world, placing himself as a character. Thus, the depiction of reality becomes metaphorical and memoirist, expanding classic documentaries instrumental language. First person accounts, which also includes self-ethnography, has allowed social minorities to express themselves, since they did not feel accurately portrayed by mass communication vehicles. In this work, part of the Media Analyses research, we intend to examine first person documentaries in both its form and its contents, by: identifying the audiovisual mechanisms that were used to translate and communicate a private reality to the audience; analyzing the connection between subject and object in a selfethnography documentary in which there cannot be partiality; investigating in which sense the work blurs the limit between documentary and fiction, creating a kind of hybrid audio-visual account, examining the ways in which the first person character becomes part of an audio-visual work. Our methodology consists on a bibliographic and filmic research, whose focus is the analysis of the self-ethnographic method. Audio-visual theorists served as reference for this research, such as: Machado, Renov, Nichols, Da-Rin, Bellour, Dubois, McLuhan, Voguel, Russel, MacDougall, Bernardet, Labaki, Lins, Sibilia, Citron. The hybridization process was examined through the work of Pinheiro and Gruzinski. The artist creation, by the critical genetic study done by Salles. Reflections on the death-image relationship were supported by the work of Debray, Morin, Barthes e Becker. The presence of the body in the work was examined in the writings of Mello, Nagib, Azzi, Schefer, Roth. This research corpus is composed of the following works: Tarnation (Caouette. USA, 2003); The Long Holiday (Der Keuke. Holanda, 2000); Gokushiteki erosu: Renka, 1974 (Hara. Japan, 1974). This selection was done minding each chapter´s theme (family, death, body). Despite being intimate narratives, they reveal a dynamic subjectivity whose range includes social and political issues. The works analyzed show a complex audio-visual language, thus consolidating the notion that documentary and realism are not synonyms. We understand that this research can contribute to a better understanding of the documentary concept as a creative treatment of actuality , as defined by John Grierson in the 1930´s
