This article aims to relate the work Immemory (1997), by Chris Marker – who used the CD-ROM as a support to produce a non-linear audiovisual content – with the interactive documentary Nação Palmares (2008), produced by the Agência Brasil, as a point of departure for an aesthetic perspective to produce interactive and participatory documentaries where the narrative is no longer linear and becomes nonlinear. Possibilities that are becoming more viable in the interface and convergence culture, context which includes the Interactive Digital TV, whose purpose is to promote interaction with the audience enabling choices.
