In Praise Of Rebellion

Cinema and Counter-Information in Popular Struggles

No ratings yet

From the rediscovery of Argentine documentary cinema, cruelly persecuted and hidden by the Argentine dictatorship, filmmakers from very different political and social backgrounds embarked on a collective aesthetic and counter-information movement that accompanied the struggles against the neoliberal project of the 1990's and uprising of December 19 and 20, 2001. From this movement, a reactivation of Argentine documentary filmmaking was generated, which today, almost coming full circle, is more present than ever.
