COSSALTER, Javier. The patrimonialization of the modern short documentary on art in Latin America. Rescue and revaluation in Mexico and Chile. Dixit [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.2, pp.4-22.  Epub Dec 01, 2022. ISSN 1688-3497.  https://doi.org/10.22235/d.v36i2.2970.

The rise of the trend of film on art in Latin America occurred between the mid-1950s and mid-1970s, in close contact with the modern cinema and the renewal of the cultural field. Today, based on UNESCO recommendations to safeguard moving images and as a result of the effectiveness of new technologies, there is a process of valuing Latin American short films on art. Thus, the article explores this trend in a comparative manner in Mexico and Chile, with the aim of examining its main characteristics and glimpse the similarities and differences around the patrimonial valuation of the works, both in the moment of their creation and in the present time. For this, we carry out the study of the socio-cultural context of the production of the films and the entities of legitimation, the aesthetic and sociopragmatic analysis of the selected corpus, and the reflection on the contemporary institutional revaluation of film on art, in the framework of public policies related this cultural sector.

Keywords : film on art; Latin American short film; modern cinema; audiovisual document; enhancement of heritage.
