The purpose of this article is to present the audiovisual research in the production of the documentary Rio desborde (2019). Elaborated with archival materials and new images about the rivers Tietê, in São Paulo, and Mapocho, in Santiago, the documentary is a reflection on floods and the crisis of the development model of two Latin American cities. From two points of view, one based on the ideas of nature and progress and the other focused on the hidden and marginalized city, four documentaries are approached: Retificação do Tietê (1940) by B.J. Duarte and Lacrimosa (1970) by Aloysio Raulino and Luna Alkalay, in Brazil; Las callampas (1957) by Rafael Sanchez and Mapocho (2008) by Cristóbal Zapata, in Chile. Subsequently, the reuse of part of this audiovisual material in Rio Desborde is commented, discussing the methodology of filming and montage, considering the notion of audiovisual essay.

Keywords : documentary; Tietê river; Mapocho river; floods; Brazil; Chile..
