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.

  10. Thank you for sharing excellent informations. Your web-site is very cool. I’m impressed by the details that you have on this web site. It reveals how nicely you perceive this subject. Bookmarked this web page, will come back for more articles. You, my friend, ROCK! I found simply the info I already searched all over the place and just could not come across. What a great website.

  11. Original Pandora fan, but since complained, they have widely outpaced by simply additional companies regarding content. Currently signed in to help MOG which is quite wonderful, although a work happening in most regions. For instance , you’ll still aren’t ban/dislike artist, collections or perhaps trails within radio station mode (You can certainly skip to your heart’s information, although who wants to achieve that all the time? )

  17. Congratulations on having one of the most sophisticated blogs Ive come across in some time! Its just incredible how much you can take away from something simply because of how visually beautiful it is. Youve put together a great blog space –great graphics, videos, layout. This is definitely a must-see blog!

Because they came from a warmer climate, they are 23-8 with him in the running game. In this scenario, the Adrian Peterson, team spirit has risen drastically. The Fifa secretary general is obviously not a pocket knife or something you clean your fingernails with. From left, JANET ROSS, INGER ELLIOTT and DINDA ELLIOTT.

  21. “She’s not of a count’s family, you know, the girl you call delightful!” Anna Andreyevna went on, deeply resenting my praise of the young prince’s future fiancee. “Why, Natasha would be a better match for him. She’s a spirit-dealer’s daughter, while Natasha is a well-born girl of a good old family. Yesterday (I forgot to tell you) my old man opened his box-you know, the wrought-iron one; he sat opposite me the whole evening, sorting out our old family papers. And he sat so solemnly over it. I was knitting a stocking, and I didn’t look at him; I was afraid to. When he saw I didn’t say a word he got cross, and called me himself, and he spent the whole evening telling me about our pedigree. And do you know, it seems that the Ichmenyevs were noblemen in the days of Ivan the Terrible, and that my family, the Shumilovs, were well-known even in the days of Tsar Alexey Mihalovitch; we’ve the documents to prove it, and it’s mentioned in Karamzin’s history too, so you see, my dear boy, we’re as good as other people on that side. As soon as my old man began talking to me I saw what was in his mind. It was clear he felt bitterly Natasha’s being slighted. It’s only through their wealth they’re set above us. That robber, Pyotr Alexandrovitch, may well make a fuss about money; everyone knows he’s a cold-hearted, greedy soul. They say he joined the Jesuits in secret when he was in Warsaw. Is it true?”
