THINKING WITH CINEMA

This essay addresses the relationship between cinema and philosophy, highlighting film as a medium to promote philosophical thinking. It explores how cinema, especially the sci-fi genre, functions as a "text" that interpellates human experience, posing ethical, social and political dilemmas. Films such as Dune, La Jetée, Blade Runner, Ex Machina and Alien are analyzed for their ability to represent utopias, dystopias and subjectivations through visual and narrative elements. Concepts such as cyborg, biopolitics, technology and non-linear narrative are also discussed, considering the impact of cinema in the construction of fictional worlds that make contemporary philosophical issues visible. Based on the theories of Deleuze, Gadamer and Haraway, the text presents cinema as a pedagogical tool that fuses the aesthetic and the intellectual, expanding the horizon of philosophical thought through images, sounds and audiovisual language for an experience of thought and an ontology of the present.
