Jorge Sanjinés y la Nación re(v)belada
Jan 01, 2010This file addresses the work of the emblematic Bolivian filmmaker Jorge Sanjinés, investigating the creative aspects of this director who knew how to create his own language and aesthetics consistent with the Andean worldview. His work is an insight into that collectivist world that brings us closer in a sensitive way to the soul of Bolivian society. It is a call to attention to the whole of society regarding the cultural values of the indigenous majorities. Consistent with his discourse, Jorge Sanjinés is a director who has strived to make communicable, reflective, critical and beautiful cinema that has survived censorship, persecution and exile, bringing to the continent and the world all the richness of an unmissable work.

Rerum Novarum
Nov 22, 2001Near Luján, the Rerum Novarum music band, composer of former workers of the Flandria cotton plant, continues playing nowadays, in spite of the shutdown of the factory. The old musicians struggle with passion in the need to maintain an identity, in a present where the social values seem to have to disappear. The old workers-musicians, receive "Our Lady of Luján" playing "Oh, María", remembering the early days of the town, of the factory, and of their own lives. They recall an idealistic past, where a Flandria worker used to receive a salary equal to that of a bank manager. They visit the closed factory -once source for employment for thousands of workers- with the knowledge that the country that they helped to build no longer exists. The old musicians gather to enjoy their friendship in the celebration of the 63rd anniversary of the band, while they fight against the ghosts of the economical crisis and social disintegration.
