This article focuses on the relationship between young students in the second cycle of elementary school from the city of Juiz de Fora/MG and films that have young people as protagonists. The focus of the discussion is these young people’s perceptions of gender representations in films. To address these perceptions, we used the results of a study developed with young people of a school in the municipal public school system. The research-intervention had as main procedure the implementation of workshops for viewing and discussing films, whose objective was to understand the relationship of those young people with the audiovisual. One of the issues that emerged in the course of the activities was the gender representations built in contact with audiovisual narratives. The results were discussed in the light of Latin American communication studies, with Jésus Martín-Barbero and Néstor García-Canclini as the main references, and gender studies and their relations with the media, developed by Guacira Louro.
