Im Leo

2003 • 2 min

In Im Leo a red figure stands in the balcony doorway of a white model room—but at the same time outside in the open. Holding a mirror in her hand, Bajtala redirects sunlight, blinding the camera lens, effacing the image in rhythmic intervals. The soundtrack accentuates this rhythmization through its synchronization with the image. Alone this slight movement of an otherwise motionless body on the threshold between the paradoxical inner and outer realms suffices to address the ‘blind spot’ of the medium, and at the same time to render it incapacitated. Bajtala undertakes with the mirror, itself a threshold, literally a transformation of visibility and invisibility and in so doing sharpens awareness of changing realities within their context of representation and reproduction.

La cueca sola

2003 • 52 min

Santiago, Chile. September 11, 1973. A military dictatorship seizes power and wields it for 17 years. Thousands of men disappear. "Donde estan? (Where are they?)," ask the women, their partners in la cueca, the traditional Chilean courtship dance. Surmounting their grief, the women speak out and struggle to restore democracy. Their lives suspended, they continue to dance la cueca sola, alone. This documentary by Marilu Mallet tells the stories of five women who suffered under dictatorship and emerged as heroes under democracy. The threads of the five stories are closely intertwined with the history of Chile, encouraging reflection on the burden of heritage, the relativity of happiness and the power of memory. Navigating through the past but firmly moored in the present, the film expresses an entire nation's faith in a future in which such a thing will never happen again.
