abstract = "This article discusses the crowdfunded Brazilian webdocumentary project Dom{\’ı}nio P{\’u}blico (produced by the audio-visual collective Pa{\^e}bir{\’u} Realiza{\c{c}}{\~o}es Cultivadas), which portrays urban transformations in Rio de Janeiro in the run-up to the citys
hosting of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games, with a particular focus on the impact in the citys favelas. It argues that Dom{\’ı}nio P{\’u}blico can be understood as a snapshot of a key moment in the recent history of Rio de Janeiro and of Brazil, which intertwines
Rios urban transformations with digital audio-visual culture, fundamental for the circulation and visibility of these processes in Brazil and abroad, as well as with national political processes and crises which would go on to take unforeseen directions and proportions after the films
release. The article shows how circulation and visibility were embedded in the project from the outset, and became an intrinsic part of its critical narrative on urban transformations.",
