In this interview, the researcher and professor Manuela Penafria (University of Beira Interior, Portugal) exposes the current scenario of the academic field Filmmakers Theory, highlighting the pertinence of renewing film theory from the thoughts expressed in images, sounds and words of filmmakers themselves. Penafria discusses relevant issues for researching and theorizing films, such as the research sources; the difference between words and images in the Filmmakers Theory; the relation of Filmmakers Theory with Jacques Aumont’s research on the theories of filmmakers; the concept of spectator that float among filmmakers; and the suspicion that may happen in Academy regarding Filmmakers Theory.
