Cinema político em Buenos Aires

Sylvia Colombo
Os argentinos adoram cinema. Os argentinos adoram política. Por conta disso, um festival de cinema político, como o que o INCAA (entidade do governo dedicada ao cinema) promove até o próximo dia 27, é sucesso na certa. Quem estiver em Buenos Aires nesta Semana Santa e quiser fugir do roteiro turístico faz bem em se aproximar do evento, que ocorre em cinco endereços do centro da cidade, o
Monumental (Lavalle 836); o Cine Cosmos (Corrientes 2046); o auditório da biblioteca do Congreso (Alsina 1835); o Centro Cultural da Cooperação (Corrientes 1543), o auditório do hotel Bauen (Callao 360) e o Centro Cultural Rojas (Corrientes 2038). São 137 filmes de 32 países. A entrada é gratuita.
No sábado à noite, saí para uma dessas sessões, e fui ver “The Angel’s Share”, do britânico socialista Ken Loach, de quem sou fã há anos, desde seu clássico “Tierra y Libertad” (1995). O filme, apesar de ser uma comédia, traz uma dura crítica social, ao contar a história de um grupo de delinquentes em trabalho de recuperação, que tramam um golpe para roubar um barril de whisky que vale 1 milhão de libras. Loach acerta a mão no tom, que faz rir e pensar, e na construção dos personagens, rudes mas poéticos a seu modo.
Muito se fala da degradação do centro de Buenos Aires, do ocaso da sua vida boêmia causados pela crise econômica e pelo crescimento desenfreado da cidade. Mas, ainda assim, é um prazer ir ver um filme na tela grande e depois poder sair caminhando pela avenida Corrientes até um de seus restaurantes e bares que servem pizza engordurada, deliciosas empanadas, água com gás no sifão e cerveja em canecão de vidro. Isso, felizmente, ainda é possível fazer.
As salas do festival estão cheias, tanto para os filmes quanto para as palestras. Vieram como convidados para falar Paul Laverty (roteirista de Ken Loach), a brasileira Tata Amaral, que está no júri, e o boliviano Jorge Sanjinés. Este veio apresentar seu “Los Insurgentes”, sobre a resistência indígena em seu país.

Entre os outros destaques, está certamente a seleção argentina. Seguindo uma tradição que começou com “El Fusilamiento de Dorrego” (1908) e seguiu até “Infância Clandestina”, de Benjamin Ávila, que está na programação e conta a história real de um garoto filho de montoneros, o cinema argentino mostra sua forte tradição política. O exemplo mais conhecido dos brasileiros talvez seja “A História Oficial”, que levou o Oscar de melhor filme estrangeiro de 1985. No evento, estão obras sobra a ditadura, o peronismo e o kirchnerismo.

Integrante do júri, o venezuelano Carlos Aizpurúa trouxe “Amaneció de Golpe”, relato cinematográfico do golpe cívico-militar comandado por Hugo Chávez em 1992 contra o governo de Carlos Andrés Pérez. Também estão entre os destaques, “Las Carpetas”, de Maite Rivera (Porto Rico); “Carrusel”, de Guillermo Iván (Colômbia); “Con mi Corazón en Yambo”, de María Fernanda Restrepo (Equador) e “Carlos, el Amanecer Ya no es una Tentación”, de Thierry Deronne (Venezuela).

Para um país que vive cada vez mais ensimesmado em sua própria novela, um festival como esse vem em boa hora, para lembrar que Buenos Aires não deixou de ser uma metrópole cosmopolita, ainda que o atual governo de turno insista em isolar seu próprio país do resto da América Latina.

  2. Don’t seat the young at heart directly in front of the music entertainment. Older generations are at a wedding typically to socialize with their family and friendsduvetica ??? http://www.advseptech.com/duvetica-???.html If they cannot hear each other talk, an unhappy situation may occur. So, if by choice, seat the young at heart near the wedding party but away from the entertainer’s speakers.

  3. Hey There. I found your blog using msn. This is a very well written article. I will be sure to bookmark it and return to read more of your useful info. Thanks for the post. I will certainly return.

  4. “You see how he is,” said Anna Andreyevna, who had of late laid aside all her stiffness with me, and all her mistrust of me; “that’s how he always is with me; and yet he knows we understand all his tricks. Why should he keep up a pretence with me? Am I a stranger to him? He’s just the same about his daughter. He might forgive her, you know, perhaps he even wants to forgive her. God knows! He cries at night, I’ve heard him. But he keeps up outwardly. He’s eaten up with pride. Ivan Petrovitch, my dear, tell me quick, where was he going?”

  9. The old man, stooping and tapping the pavement with his stick, drew near the confectioner’s, with his slow, feeble step, moving his legs as though they were sticks, and seeming not to bend them. I had never in my life come across such a strange, grotesque figure, and, whenever I had met him at Muller’s before, he had always made a painful impression on me. His tall figure, his bent back, his death-like face with the stamp of eighty years upon it, his old great-coat torn at the seams, the battered round hat, at least twenty years old, which covered his head – bald but for one lock of hair not grey but yellowish-white – all his movements, which seemed performed, as it were, aimlessly, as though worked by springs – no one who met him for the first time could help being struck by all this. It really was strange to see an old man who had so outlived the natural spar, alone, with no one to look after him, especially as he looked like a madman who had escaped from his keepers. I was struck, too, by his extraordinary emaciation; he seemed scarcely to have any body, it was as though there were nothing but skin over his bones. His large lustreless eyes, set as it were in blue rims, always stared straight before him, never looking to one side, and never seeing anything – of that I feel certain; though he looked at you, he walked straight at you as though there were an empty space before him. I noticed this several times. He had begun to make his appearance at Muller’s only lately, he was always accompanied by his dog, and no one knew where he came from. Not one of the customers at Muller’s could make up his mind to address him, nor did he accost any of them.

  20. Thanks for your write-up. What I want to point out is that when searching for a good on the internet electronics shop, look for a internet site with complete information on important factors such as the level of privacy statement, security details, payment options, as well as other terms as well as policies. Constantly take time to investigate the help along with FAQ pieces to get a better idea of how a shop performs, what they can perform for you, and exactly how you can make best use of the features.

  28. I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.

  29. I like the valuable info you provide in your articles. I?l bookmark your blog and check again here regularly. I am quite certain I will learn plenty of new stuff right here! Good luck for the next!
