La historia de una década que prometía el futuroLa imagen del general Augusto Pinochet entregando la banda presidencial a Patricio Aylwin marca el inicio de una década en la que se sucederán grandes transformaciones en Chile. El fin del gobierno militar inaugura un periodo decrecimiento economico y la apertura comercial a un mundo que hasta ese momento parecia haberle dado la espalda anuestro pais, inyectando una dosis de entusiasmo nunca antes visto en una sociedad conservadora y largamentegolpeada por los efectos de la dictadura. En los noventa Chile quiso ser visto a veces como un jaguar, a veces como un tempano de hielo; en ocasiones transmutado en un jugador de futbol humilde que se encumbro en el Real Madrid, y en otras en el caracter de un tenista arrogante que llego a ser el numero uno. Desde el fulgor de las fiestas Spandex al jolgorio de Viva el lunes, pasando por el surgmiento de nuevos medios como la juvenil Zona de contacto y radio Rock and Pop, toda iniciativa parecia tener espacio en un mercado prospero y aparentemente global. Pero este despertar se daba en el contexto de una democracia fragil que avanzaba con pies de plomo entre los golpes a la mesa que seguian dando militares y obispos. Con su mirada aguda y una memoria que no perdona, Oscar Contardo recorre en detalle todos los hitos que marcaron los actualmente cuestionados años noventa en Chile, dando voz a sus protagonistas y entregando una cronica cabal y vivida sobre lo que fuimos y lo que podriamos haber llegado a ser.

Felipe Celesia reconstruye la trama íntima y política de una película que marcó a la Argentina y al mundoEsta es la historia de dos personas, una película, un país y una época. Casi nada de eso ha quedado, pero la pelicula sigue alli, singular, potente y orgullosa, para recordarnos los sueños de la Argentina que fuimos y señalarnos la oscuridad de la que somos.La hora de los hornos, el filme de Octavio Getino y Fernando "Pino" Solanas acaso sea el documental mas importante (en caso de que una valoracion asi resulte pertinente) que se ha producido en este pais. Es cine en estado de revolucion alumbrado al calor de un momento de la historia en el que el cambio se intuia inexorable. En un ejercicio radical de reconstruccion, Felipe Celesia cuenta todo eso "que ya no existe": las infancias de Solanas y Getino, el modo en que se conocieron, las decisiones y discusiones que pavimentaron el camino hacia la obra maestra, el clima de epoca, la belleza y la violencia, los sueños alcanzados y aquellos que quedaron truncos. Como el mismo autor dice, esta es la historia de un tiempo "en el que hacian peliculas que conmovian, que inspiraban a los europeos como modelos de accion politica y artistica". * * * Jean-Luc Godard: ¿Cual es el deber del cineasta revolucionario?. Pino Solanas: Utilizar el cine como un arma o un fusil, convertir la obra misma en un hecho, en un acto, en una accion revolucionaria.

Una escritora inconformista y rebelde en su vida y su obra.Jane Austen fue una escritora inconformista y rebelde tanto en su vida como en su obra. Nació en un mundo donde el mayor éxito que podía alcanzar una mujer era lograr un matrimonio ventajoso. Ella, sin embargo, buscaba algo mas. Su inconformismo y su determinacion la llevaron a ignorar las normas de su tiempo, que la constreñian como un corse, y a buscar nuevos modos de ser libre a traves de su mayor arma, la escritura. En sus novelas creo heroinas capaces de desafiar, con ironia e ingenio, las convenciones de la epoca, y de abrir las puertas a un nuevo futuro para las mujeres.
