Abstract
Community production of audiovisual materials has expanded notably since the Fogo Process in Canada opened the production process in a participatory way. The rise of local and citizen media since the 70s facilitated the proliferation of participatory videos as tools of dissemination and struggle against social problems. This study explores the conceptualization of these videos as filmic objects, aiming to introduce them into contemporary Documentary Theory, and to classify them according to the taxonomy defined by theorist Bill Nichols.
