This article presents a study that investigates the approach to suicidal behaviors in the short films of the Osga university film festival. 11 films that present the theme were identified. Such videos were submitted to content analysis based on the categories of: suicidal ideations, parasuicide, and suicide attempt systematized by Botega (2015). From the analysis, the last was identified as the most frequent category, corroborating the notes presented in the specialized literature. The analysis also reveals that generally the suicide is motivated by events of profound suffering of the subjects who try and/or perform it.Downloads
