The article presents reflections about a research that brings the cinema to the context of schooling and life of young people and adults with intellectual disability and it analyzes the processes that affect this relationship. The subjects are students of a specialized care unit, who watched three films in the local cinema and participated in debates after the sessions. The datas analyzed come from recordings of the debates and the field diaries that helped to register the events and the context of the activities inside and outside of school. The research is based on the assumption of the historical-cultural perspective of Vygotski. It has as methodology the action research, it uses content analysis for the creation of analytical categories. The results indicate that: the experience with cinema was not recurrent for the subjects of the research; The desability is presented as justification for the absence of this encounter in the life of the students and this is even though unconsciously, a stigma for these subjects; The context of cinema allows a collective learning among the subjects, giving the participants new ways of teaching and learning. Therefore, the text opens an issue not explored in the field of cinema and education and it seeks to broaden studies for special education by pointing out that cinema at school can modify the ways of learning and teaching also of students with intellectual disabilities.
