Narrativas y memorias de la lucha del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional en el cine documental

Abstract

In this paper we present an analysis of the ways of narrating and presenting the outbreak and the struggle of the Zapatista Arma of Liberation National (EZLN) in México country, in the documentary films. We recovered three films made between the nineties of the twentieth century and the first decade of the 21st century: Chiapas:paisaje después de la batalla (Irma Ávila, 1994); 2) Autonomía zapatista. Otro mundo es posible (Cristina Hijar y Colectivo AMV, 2008); y Los hombres sin rostro (Elena Korykhalova y Oleg Myasoedov, 2016), to analyse what they said about the EZLN, how it is presented and who do it. We support the proposals of film analysis and visual studies, wich allow us to understand the relationships that are established between the revolutionary event and its film objectification, its intervention and persistence in the present.
