| Summary: | This article aims at approaching the concept of resistance as it is portrayed in five movies produced throughout the civil-military dictatorship in Argentina and which took place in the 1970s and 1980s. Despite its ending, this period still causes, in the intellectual and in other Argentinian sectors in general, aesthetic reactions which are contrary to the one followed by the regime. My hypothesis is that the movies, La historia oficial (1985), La noche de los lápices (1986), Garage Olimpo (1999), Kamchatka (2002) and Kóblic (2016) which will be analysed throughout the text, result from an open and very present memory in the Argentinian movie industry, in a clear attitude of resistance not only to the dictatorship itself but also to the attempts to erase memories. Este artigo pretende abordar o conceito de resistência em cinco filmes produzidos durante a última ditadura cívico-militar na Argentina ocorrida entre os anos de 1970 e 1980. Não obstante o final dessa, o período ainda provoca, no meio intelectual e restante dos argentinos em geral, reações estéticas contrárias àquele regime. Minha hipótese é de que os filmes, La historia oficial (1985) La noche de los lápices (1986), Garage Olimpo (1999), Kamchatka (2002) e Kóblic (2016) aqui analisados, resultam de uma memória aberta e muito presente na filmografia argentina, numa clara atitude de resistência à ditadura como também às tentativas de apagamento da memória. |
