Abstract

Introduction: The current presence of hybridity between documentary and fiction filmmaking has taken many senses, with disparate results, which have the purpose of delivering works that provide new looks on reality, which is understood as an entity represented through images. Methodology: The objective of this research is to analyze four films of hybrid fiction and documentary narration, in order to determine the elements used to create significant and unusual cinematographic experiences. A film analysis is carried out with four categories of analysis: fictional elements, documentary style, temporal manipulation and interaction with the viewer. Results: Four hybrid fiction/documentary films were analyzed. Elements such as dramatized situations and narrative tones that mix fiction and reality to question truth and lies were identified. It was observed that temporal manipulation and interaction with the viewer are crucial to create meaningful cinematic experiences. Discussion: The fusion of genres allows for new ways of representing and questioning reality. The films studied show how fiction can enrich documentary, providing an additional layer of meaning and reflection. Conclusions: The hybridization of genres in film offers a powerful tool to explore and represent reality in an innovative way, challenging traditional boundaries.
