Abstract
Throughout history, literature has offered significant practical and theoretical possibilities to cinema. In relation with the last one, the theory of transtextuality, developed by Gerard Genette, has gained great relevance for the study of films and series, due to the extensive number of quotes and allusions from movies within others. This led film theorists Robert Stam, Robert Burgoyne and Sandy Flitterman-Lewis to develop additionally five transtextual relationships designed expressly for cinema. Currently, filmmaker Quentin Tarantino is the one who uses most transtextuals forms in his filmography, as part of his authorial style; he has even created fake films and tv series that only exist within fis filmography, which can be analyzed as another form of transtextuality. Therefore, we will use the notion of false intertextuality, by Stam, Burgoyne and Flitterman-Lewis, to study these cases of false films and series created by Tarantino and the various narrative and stylistic purposes that they have within his filmography.
