Grito

Grito

2008 • 22 min • Argentina
Made by Andrés Denegri in 2008, working with Super 8mm loops and video. Final version in 35mm. Synopsis In Latin America, the 70s and 80s were years darkened by military dictatorships, which forced a policy of terror and extermination. Many of those who lived their childhood during that period have a personal history built as an extremely complex plot. Grito works with throbbing autobiographical memories and Images that resound in the head and block the throat. It is the last step in a series of audiovisual reflections about the relationship between identity, ideology and affection. A Super-8mm and a low-quality digital video entwine in the anachronistic construction of the familiar recollection.

When The Landscape Is Quiet Again

2008 • 57 min
Former governor Arthur A. Link has become virtually a mythic figure in the North Dakota consciousness. Art Link was governor of North Dakota during the first great energy crisis in the 1970s. On October 11, 1973, Governor Link delivered what is widely regarded as North Dakota's "Gettysburg address". His credo, written in the margins of his prepared speech moments before he was introduced, is known by its opening phrase: "When the landscape is quiet again." This is the story of that man, that speech, and the landscape that inspired it.
