Experiencing Interruptions?

Moments of Danger

Iki, a territorial militant, is shot three times in the moments of greatest tension in contemporary Argentine history: in 2001, 2002 and 2016. However, none of them kill him. His story reflects a series of moments of danger. Between collective performance, territorial activism and personal experiences, this film is woven that addresses the personal and political commitment of a leader of the social movements.

Director Statement

Moments of Danger is an experimental documentary that works in three types of registers: the testimonial voice, archival material and visual performance, being constructed as a hybrid work between the scenic and the audiovisual. The performative register allows the viewer to enter a close scene, such as the piquetero movement, but with the necessary distance to see beyond the image. Music or silence completes the sensation of court with the cinematographic documentary record. During the performance, different women weave and organize a 100-meter-long white cloth, which allows us to remember the absences along the way of thinking about our own history, joining the popular imagination, as were the weavers in the San Martino army.
