Considering the above, the objective of this work was to analyze the potential of (auto)biographical cinebiography as a reflective didactic-pedagogical instrument at the university level, through the analysis of students' perceptions of the filmic work. This activity contributed to promoting dialogue between students, expanded and enriched classroom discussions, promoted students' critical thinking and the appreciation of interpersonal narratives. Thus, through the integration between the historical-sociocultural formation of childhood, the (auto)biographical narratives and the perspectives of future teachers, the reflective-formative potential of this methodology stands out.
