Cinema is one of the most impactful artistic manifestations of modernity, capable of shaping perceptions, driving debates and promoting social transformations. The filmmaker, as creator and articulator of audiovisual discourses, assumes a crucial role in the construction of narratives that go beyond the screen, directly influencing critical thinking and the behavior of society. This article aims to analyze the influence of the filmmaker as an agent of social change, addressing the way in which his works raise awareness, denounce injustices and inspire concrete transformations. The research is based on a bibliographic review and analysis of cinematographic productions that have had a significant impact in historical and cultural contexts. The study discusses representation in cinema, activism through the seventh art and the challenges faced by filmmakers in a scenario of censorship, commercial pressures and technological advances. It is concluded that, despite the limitations imposed by the industry and cultural policies, cinema remains an essential tool for awareness and social change, consolidating the filmmaker as a fundamental actor in the construction of a more critical and reflective society.
