Sumario:In recent years, a series of films have emerged, in which the main characters are required to confront processes of historical consciousness, but in which they are also forced to confront other characters who are opposed to keeping historical memory alive. Thus, cinema becomes a space for theoretical reflection about the relevance of developing processes of historical memory today. In this text, these films will be analyzed trying to unravel the ethical and psychological consequences of keeping the memory of violence and harm alive, and also analyzing the role that cinema plays when it comes to theorizing about the positions that we can adopt towards historical memory.
