This research presents a study on the gender performativities and dissident sexualities of women in the short film “Peixe” shown at the Festival of Sexual and Gender Diversity of Goiás (DIGO Festival) in 2019, directed by Yasmin Guimarães and whose script is co-written by her and Gabriel Quintão. The objective is to investigate how the construction of the film, in its visual, meaningful and symbolic layers, configures it as a communicative tool of resistance to heteronorms. For that, the short film and statements made by the director and the leading actress, Andrea Cópio, are used as sources of data and a cinematographic critical-analysis is developed across the levels of shot, sequence, in addition to the film itself, thought of as category and object. The questions that guide the work are: how is the performanceperformativity of gender and lesbian sexuality materialized in the film? Does gender performance-performativity reveal forms of resistance to heteronorms? Therefore it is built an investigation into the concepts of communication, culture, performance and performativity, queer issues and lesbianities. The research is enriched by the questioning perspective of the analyses as well as the intertwining of concepts from the fields of social sciences and cinema studies. As the scales of the animal that from a distance seem to be integrated into its silhouette but with an approximate look reveal its dimensions, the layers of investigation on the cinematographic work intend to reveal what at first sight is understood as a reflection of a single source (the short film) through an attentive look at the various surfaces of interconnected meanings that form the film narrative and its materialization process. It is found, after the analyses, that by gradually but explicitly placing aspects of the experience of homosexual women, the film assumes a posture of confrontation with heretonorms by making their (re)existences possible. “Peixe” has as its language subversion and resistance to a heteronormative, sexist and patriarchal system: the lesbian existence is possible because it is visible on screen.
