Me Queda La Palabra Una Realizacion de Bernardo Kononovich
(2004)
La Shoá (el Holocausto) y la masacre de los años setenta
en Argentina son acontecimientos históricos diferentes. Sin
embargo, muchos consideran que ambas tragedias se entrelazan y esta
película reflexiona al respecto. Kononovich, también
psicoanalista además de premiado realizador de varios cortos
y mediometrajes, indaga acerca de cómo han hecho sobrevivientes
de campos de concentración nazi y de secuestros y desapariciones
en la Argentina, para recrear una vida cotidiana en condiciones
razonablemente normales: formar una familia, desarrollar una profesión,
sostener lazos sociales. Explorando sobre los límites del
contar y la capacidad de los otros para escuchar, arriba a preguntas
tales como ¿a quién le hablan los sobrevivientes?
¿Qué esperan de nosotros? ¿Queremos escucharlos?
/ La nieta le pregunta a la abuela qué significan esos números
tatuados en su brazo. La respuesta dará lugar a un equívoco
que se resuelve inesperadamente. Brillante cortometraje de un joven
realizador mexicano.

Modern Mexico: The Artistic Identity - This view of the development
of the art of painting in Mexico in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries shows how the country responded to artistic movements
of the time. The works shown enable us to recreate the cultural
history of a country that experienced two decisive conflicts, the
War of Independence and the revolution. These events gave birth
to an overwhelming spirit of nationalism which was powerfully expressed
in the provinces and which culminated in the Muralist movement of
the twenties and in contemporary Mexican sculpture.
Music of Latin America - The blending of indigenous and
European influences creates the unique sound of Latin American music.
Instruments used by the Indians as well as the Spaniards are examined.
It is geared for elementary and middle school students.
