Claves, 2: We will return younger

Synopsis

Fernando Birri, an Argentinian filmmaker, proposed a manifesto with his 1960 film Tire dié. He aimed to create a national cinema that remained realistic and critical while avoiding populism. The second episode of the four-part series Claves focuses on the blurred lines between fiction and documentary in Latin American cinema. This segment illustrates Birri's vision and its influence on the development of cinema in the region during the 20th century. The documentary lasts 26 minutes and was released in 1984.
