Abstract

GOULART, Marília-Marie. Splitted Urbis: metropolitan’s conflict in AU3 - Autopista Central. Dixit [online]. 2019, n.31, pp.24-35.  Epub Dec 01, 2019. ISSN 1688-3497.  https://doi.org/10.22235/d.vi31.1880.

As a field of visual arts, cinema can also be defined as an architectural practice, an agent in building different views of the city. Not only the place where action occurs, filmic space can be powerful enough to reveal the past, uncovering less evident memories and dynamics, giving visibility to memories and processes that official narrative tried to conceal. The spatial construction in the Argentinian documentary AU3 - Autopista Central (Alejandro Hartmann, 2010) presents a sensible point of view contrary to the given effort of erasing narratives that are inconvenient for official History, exposing social and urban tensions that marked Buenos Aires throughout different historical periods. With Villa Urquiza’s careful approach to space and its dwellers, AU3 exposes the social exclusion process and the unspeakable violence of military dictatorship.

Keywords : cinema and city; urban space; military dictatorship; memory..
