This paper proposes a reflection on the Cinema in the Amazon, presenting aspects of audiovisual production since the beginning of the twentieth century to the contemporary, emphasizing the production of local filmmakers. We propose setting up a "communication ecosystem" from the relationship between historical context, artists, environment, public policy, aesthetics and ideologies. The theoretical and methodological approach of the idea of sociology of absences and emergencies, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, in dialogue with Amazonian authors like Paes Loureiro, and theorists of culture and audiovisual. In addition to the literature search was conducted a field study to map the situation of the regional audiovisual sector. It is perceived that by various factors throughout history, the Amazonas film is a segment that remains almost invisible or ignored, as well as being separated from the industrial system of production, distribution and exhibition, has not won the recognition of the regional public.
