Last Saturday we went to the Teatro La Comedia see " photographers City " , a documentary by Sebastian Moreno on Chilean photojournalists were planted against the Pinochet dictatorship, and depicted its violence, risking their integrity and even his life. Their task began when the first of them formed the Association of Independent Photographers (AFI) to find safety in numbers and have at least an institutional credential that would justify its presence in the street protests calling for justice, democracy and the appearance of detainees and kidnapped by the government.
disappeared in Chile (officially) almost 1,200 people. The Chilean dictatorship was no less brutal than Argentina, but the dictator was more wickedly smart, and power, albeit diminished, is never completely extinguished, even with his death. The Argentines know little or nothing of this, as the entire history of our neighboring countries, and in view of our similar experiences, it is a shame. City photographers remedy comes in a small part of this ignorance, even more inexcusable for Marisa and I amateur photographers.
We could see this film because we aim to programming 16 ยบ Festival Latinoamericano de Video , one of the cultural crown jewels of Rosario. It is difficult to access these productions if one does not fall within that circuit, he diverts attention and once the look of almost incessant stream of trash television broadcast and commercial cinema, however, no excuse for not learning. Go and see!
