COSSALTER, Javier. A history of the Argentine short film from the origins to modern cinema. Dixit [online]. 2017, n.27, pp.42-59. ISSN 1688-3497.  https://doi.org/10.22235/d.v0i27.1495.

Abstract: The short film as a means of alternative expression to the industry found its splendor in Argentina during the period of modern cinema through aesthetic experimentation and the political instrumentation of the medium. However, the short film was present from the beginning of the cinema. In this sense, the present article proposes a history of the national short film from its conformation to the modern phase with the aim of revealing the different modalities and functions that acquired the short film during the development of the cinema. In this way, the linkages and ruptures will be established in the productive and aesthetic forms adopted by the short film before, during and after the settlement of classic-industrial cinema.

Keywords : Argentinean cinema; short film; tradition; filmic industry; modern cinema.
