TEMAS DE ENFOQUE: capítulo 1: percepciones e impresiones, primeras impresiones, rasgos físicos, estereotipos capítulo 2: relaciones entre generaciones, las familias, la brecha generacional, el exilio * El Hijo de la Novia (Son of the Bride) (director: Juan José Campanella, Argentina, 2001, 124 min., drama / comedia) El protagonista Rafael piensa que las cosas deberían ser mejores: él tiene 42 años, dedica 24 horas al día a su restaurante, está divorciado, ve muy poco a su hija, no tiene amigos y no quiere comprometerse con su novia. Además, desde hace mucho tiempo no visita a su madre, internada en un geriátrico porque sufre del mal de Alzheimer. Una serie de acontecimientos inesperados le obligan a Rafael a cuestionar ciertos aspectos de su vida, incluyendo su reacción a la intención que su padre tiene de cumplir el viejo sueño de su madre: casarse por la Iglesia. La Historia oficial (The Official Story) (director: Luis Puenzo, Argentina, 1985, 115 min., drama político) Esta película relata la tragedia de los niños "desaparecidos" argentinos. La palabra "desaparecido" se refiere a una persona secuestrada (kidnapped), por lo general torturada, y frecuentemente asesinada, durante la dictadura militar empezando en la década de 1970, durante la "guerra sucia". En la película, una profesora de historia, Alicia, toma conciencia de los eventos de unos años antes durante el llamado (so-called) Proceso de Reorganización Nacional. El regreso de una amiga exiliada, el descubrimiento de las acciones deshonestas de su esposo y la llegada de una Abuela de la Plaza de Mayo (que había perdido a su hijo "desaparecido") tienen una gran influencia en su vida y 2 hacen que Alicia cambie su política y que ella descubra que su hija puede ser en realidad hija de desaparecidos. * El Sueño de Valentín (Valentín) (director: Alejandro Agresti, Argentina, 2003, 86 min., drama / comedia) En los años 60 en Buenos Aires, Valentín es un niño de nueve años que vive con su abuela. Su madre desapareció cuando él tenía tres años y su padre es un hombre inestable e incapaz (incapable) de tomar responsabilidades. Valentín es un niño solitario que busca constantemente el amor y el afecto. Su vida es sencilla y él tiene dos obsesiones: convertirse en astronauta y que su padre lo presente a su madre. Pero su padre no quiere pensar en el pasado, y siempre tiene novias diferentes y repugnantes (según (according to) Valentín). Pero esto cambia cuando un día su padre le presenta a Leticia que inmediatamente le cae bien a Valentín. El Abuelo (The Grandfather) (director: José Luis Garci, España, 1998, 146 min., drama) Don Rodrigo es un noble hidalgo (nobleman) de Asturias (región en España) que regresa de América. Él está arruinado (financially ruined), y descubre que una de sus dos nietas es hija ilegítima porque la madre era infiel. Aunque (Although) Don Rodrigo vive con sus dos nietas y tiene una buena relación con ellas, le molesta saber que una de ellas no es su nieta «de verdad». Desea que su nuera (daughter-in-law) le diga cuál de las dos es la auténtica, para que pueda heredar el nombre, ya que (since) no le queda dinero, pero la nuera, se resiste a hacer diferencias entre sus dos hijas. * Lugares comunes (Common Ground) (director: Adolfo Aristarain, Argentina, 2002, 110 min., drama) Lugares comunes narra la historia de Fernando Robles, un veterano profesor argentino de literatura, y Lilian Roviera, su mujer española, que trabaja como asistente social en barrios marginales de Buenos Aires. Los dos son queridos y respetados por sus conocidos y amigos, y ellos viven juntos y felices. Sin embargo (Nevertheless), esta tranquilidad es afectada por la jubilación (retirement) anticipada que recibe Fernando, debido a (due to) la crisis en el país. Esto les obligará a evaluar su situación y posiblemente a pedirle ayuda a su hijo que ha prosperado como inmigrante en España y que simboliza todo lo que Fernando y Liliana, los dos políticamente muy de izquierda, rechazaban. Con el apoyo (support) de su amigo cercano Carlos Solla, un abogado de cierto prestigio, Fernando y Liliana toman la decisión de vender su apartamento y mudarse a una chacra (farm) en Córdoba, Argentina, para arreglar sus problemas económicos e iniciar una nueva vida. Machuca (director: Andrés Wood, Chile, 2004, 121 min., drama político) En el año 1973, Gonzalo Infante y Pedro Machuca son dos niños de once años que viven en Santiago, Chile. Gonzalo vive en un barrio rico, y Pedro en un humilde poblado ilegal cerca. Las vidas de los dos chicos se cruzan (cross) cuando un colegio religioso inicia un programa de integración social. Hay conflictos porque mientras que algunas personas (y particularmente, algunos de los padres de los estudiantes) tienen la esperanza de juntar a estos dos mundos socialmente separados, otros 3 ciudadanos (especialmente los padres ricos tradicionales) están contentos con el statu quo (situación actual) y se oponen a los cambios escolares considerados demasiado radicales por ellos. - pueden ver una colilla en la página de la red: http://www.madman.com.au/actions/trailer.do?method=view&videogramId=2761 * Derecho de familia (Family Law) (director: Daniel Burman, Argentina, 2006, 102 min., comedia dramática) Ariel Perelman es un joven abogado que todavía no sabe muy bien quién va a ser cuando sea grande. En la búsqueda por definir su identidad, acepta, aunque con cierta aprensión, lo ya heredado, lo inmodificable, lo que él ya es. Pero es difícil para él continuar a construir su identidad para diferenciarse de su padre (también abogado). Después de casarse con una antigua estudiante y tener a un hijo, Ariel aprende que el descubrimiento de sí mismo (himself) y el desarrollo de la relación con su padre producen una mejor comprensión de su propio hijo y un aprecio más grande de su rol como padre y como esposo. * María llena de gracia (Mary Full of Grace) (director: Joshua Marston, Colombia / EEUU, 2004, 101 min., drama) A los 17 años, María es una joven que vive con su mamá, su hermana, su abuela y su sobrino en una ciudad al norte de Bogotá. Todos los días, para mantener a su familia, María, junta a su mejor amiga Blanca, trabaja en una fábrica quitando las espinas (thorns) de las rosas para su exportación con reglas muy estrictas y un jefe insensible. Los fines de semana, María asiste a los bailes comunes en la plaza del mercado con su novio Juan como única actividad para escaparse del aburrimiento de su vida. Un día, María discute (argues) con su jefe y decide dejar su empleo, después de darse cuenta de que está embarazada. Entonces, María decide ir a la ciudad, donde gracias a su amigo Franklin se emplea como “mensajera”, un trabajo que le parece (a ella) bastante simple y que paga mucho dinero. Para el trabajo, es necesario que María pase pequeños paquetes de cocaína a los Estados Unidos recibiendo 5.000 dólares por cada viaje. Poco tiempo pasa antes de que su buena amiga Blanca entre también en el negocio, y todo parece estar en orden hasta el día en que María decide tomar un avión con destino a Miami con el estómago lleno de globos de cocaína. .

  • Memory, History, and Entrapment in the Temporal Gateway Film
    Lives in Limbo: Memory, History, and Entrapment in the Temporal Gateway Film Sarah Casey Benyahia A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies University of Essex October 2018 Abstract This thesis examines the ways in which contemporary cinema from a range of different countries, incorporating a variety of styles and genres, explores the relationship to the past of people living in the present who are affected by traumatic national histories. These films, which I’ve grouped under the term ‘temporal gateway’, focus on the ways in which characters’ experiences of temporality are fragmented, and cause and effect relationships are loosened as a result of their situations. Rather than a recreation of historical events, these films are concerned with questions of how to remember the past without being defined and trapped by it: often exploring past events at a remove through techniques of flashback and mise-en-abyme. This thesis argues that a fuller understanding of how relationships to the past are represented in what have traditionally been seen as different ‘national’ cinemas is enabled by the hybridity and indeterminacy of the temporal gateway films, which don’t fit neatly into existing categories discussed and defined in memory studies. This thesis employs an interdisciplinary approach in order to draw out the features of the temporal gateway film, demonstrating how the central protagonist, the character whose life is in limbo, personifies the experience of living through the past in the present. This experience relates to the specifics of a post-trauma society but also to a wider encounter with disrupted temporality as a feature of contemporary life.

  • “Golden Age”: Sônia Braga, Gael García Bernal, and Ricardo Darín
    New Latin-American Stardom, the local/global stars of Latin American Cinema’s new “Golden Age”: Sônia Braga, Gael García Bernal, and Ricardo Darín Dolores Tierney, Victoria Ruétalo and Roberto Carlos Ortiz Editors’ Introduction The Latin American star system, like that in other regions, has emulated the Hollywood model in large measure because of its power to mobilize movie-going audiences. Various contributors to this collection have underscored particular ways in which regional film cultures have borrowed certain of Hollywood’s strategies to promote local star culture. Maite Conde’s discussion of fan magazines in Brazil in the 1920s (see Chapter 5), for instance, provides an early example of the ways the Hollywood star paradigm self-consciously served local interests in shaping a Brazilian national audience. Similarly, in Chapter 23 Alejandro Kelly’s focus on photography in star construction and the commercial promotion of particular stars helps us better appreciate the rich visual influence of cinema in shaping popular tastes and commodity culture in the region. In recent decades, with seminal works by Viera, López, Paranaguá and Tuñón, Latin American star studies have expanded their scope, generating sophisticated discourses on the ways in which individual stars maneuver their celebrity persona within the social, cultural and even moral projects of national and transnational communities. The authors of this chapter argue for a substantive alteration of that meta-discourse on stardom in which key Latin America actors are seen as not merely as ‘star texts’ but, to extend the metaphor, as centers of 1 ‘constellations’ of intermedial artistic and market networks in ways that transcend their status as mere entertainers.

Upon reading the first chapter, the director immediately recognized the book’s potential for a cinema adaptation. The work presents intimate and personal accounts of adolescents who found in prostitution a way to survive. While the book narrates the lives of six girls, the script of Stolen Dreams portrays three characters. The protagonists of the feature film – Jessica, Sabrina and Daiane – live in a low-income community in Rio de Janeiro. Their daily lives are similar to those of many young women in other regions of Brazil, where dysfunctional families, early pregnancy, domestic violence, lack of education and the banalization of life are common factors.
