Documentary Cinema in Chile
Confronting History, Memory, Trauma
Antonio Traverso
Film aficionados will know Patricio Guzm n's epic La batalla de Chile (The Battle of Chile) but this book looks beyond the familiar to address an extensive lineage of non-fiction cinema from the 1970s through to contemporary film, encompassing a wealth of women's film-making as it does so. From the 'direct' style of film-making that witnesses events as they unfold, to the more belated, subjective or minimal meditations on trauma post-dictatorship, such as in Marcela Said's El mocito (The Young Butler), chapters detail a diversity of responses to historical disaster and include 'outsider' perspectives such as Canadian film-maker Peter Raymont's A Promise to the Dead.
Situating its analysis in the wider context of theories on Latin American film and world cinema, this book forms an essential source for students, researchers and general readers interested in the history and legacy of political oppression and genocide in post-conflict societies, as it surfaces on the screen.
