El giro subjetivo y la puesta en escena del yo en el documental ecuatoriano

Abstract

So far this century, the Ecuadorian documentary has built a small tradition of subjective cinema from which the director constructs his story, highlighting his place of personal enunciation regarding the facts told. In these documentaries, they are characterized by the predominance of private history over social life, the visual and sonorous narration in the first person, the coincidence between author, narrator and character, the autobiographical pact between director and public, and the performative character of the narration. From the analysis of films El lugar donde se juntan los polos (2002) by Juan Martín Cueva and El grill de César (2014) by Darío Aguirre we seek to understand the articulation between fictionalization and documentation procedures in autobiographical films.
