Abstract

This project proposes a research internship to be held at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), Argentina, in addition to the doctoral research "The documentary on the New Latin American Cinema: Practices in Argentina, Brazil and Cuba". The internship aims to deepen the historical research on the New Latin American Cinema (NCL) and to promote analysis of the films provided in the project. To do so, will be continued the comparative research among the filmmakers Raymundo Gleyzer (Argentina), Geraldo Sarno (Brazil) and Santiago Álvarez (Cuba), with emphasis on the period between 1968 and 1978. During the period of the internship will be prioritized the dialogues between the filmographies of the filmmakers and the history of NCL, thorough the contact with researchers from the research group "Medios, History and Society" (Institute of Investigaciones Gino Germani - University of Buenos Aires), coordinated by Professor Mariano Mestman. The internship will therefore be relevant to finish the historical overview of the NCL, axis of the first chapter of the thesis; and to end the filmic analysis. (AU)
