Albertina Carri wants to make a film about Isidro Velázquez, an almost mythical outlaw figure from northern Argentina who was shot dead by police in 1967. She’s not the only one interested in him: her sociologist father Roberto Carri wrote a book on him called “Pre-Revolutionary Forms of Violence” and a film was made about his story, although both father and film disappeared during the Dirty War. Legends, families, political alignments, cinema: none offer a stable foothold and Carri’s passage through them is like wandering a garden of forking paths, only to arrive at a landscape of cracked earth and thorns.

Continuing the series started with Intervened Events (2014), the Buenos Aires Film Museum presents the second feature film made entirely with material from its archives and by fourteen outstanding Argentine filmmakers. These are nine issues of Cine Escuela Argentino, a project created in 1948 by the Argentine Ministry of Education during the first government of Juan Domingo Perón. The latter promoted “the use of the cinematographer as a didactic assistant destined to complete the educational and cultural work, mainly in what concerns exalting the feelings of the nationality, with the heroic example of the heroes, Christian morality and the multiple civil duties, great and small”. Hence, most of the films produced by Cine Escuela Argentino were aimed at scientific dissemination and tourism promotion of the various regions of the country. (Museum of Cinema)

Operation failure and the sound recovered was the title that Albertina Carri gave to the exhibition she held at the Memory Park between September and November 2015. The exhibition presented a series of video installations that staged a personal, family and political memory. Thus the exhibition could be read as a sort of self-portrait made up of remains and vestiges of the past: epistolary correspondence, film fragments, scripts, documents and records are for Carri the support of an archival policy that transcends the biographical to offer a possible reading of our recent history. Unproper Point, it was one of the films that were part of the exhibition.

According to its director Albertina Carri, this is a “porno-terrorist political manifesto.” Made from archival images, mostly pornography dating from the 1920s to the 1970s, 'Pets' is a reflection on images and early pornography. Cinema and pornography could share a basic definition: they generate images that persist in the retina and create their own universes. Abject, clandestine, anonymous; what scenes, what fantasies did the camera obscura—the beginning of cinema, the precondition for porn—record in the early days?
