An examination of Argentina's "Dirty War" in films made after the
advent of democracy in 1983. The systematic illegal persecution and
annihilation of political opponents of the 1979-1983 Argentine
military dictatorship, commonly known today as the "Dirty War",
became one of the main themes of the nation's cinema after the
regime's fall. In this study, while providing a detailed survey of
the conditions of production of post-dictatorship Argentine cinema,
the author focuses on a selected corpus of films in order to
explore how issues of memory, mourning and trauma, together with
questions of gender and genre representation, have been dealt with
in the cinema that followed the advent of democracy in 1983. By
means of a solid theoretical underpinning and the thorough textual
analysis of some canonical films, such as La historia oficial and
Sur, and others less well known, for example En retirada, La amiga,
El acto en cuestion, the book offers new insights into contemporary
Latin American cinema. Constanza Burucua, having completed her PhD
at the University of Warwick, is an independent film producer in
Caracas.
