Sumario:This paper offers a review of three films produced in the School of Cinematography of La Plata, Buenos Aires, which was one of the pioneers of Latin America. At the same time, the text brings up certain ideas taken from the manifesto Hacia un tercer cine (1969) by Octavio Getino and Fernando “Pino” Solanas, and the concepts of politics and aesthetics. Thirty years after the reopening of the career in 1993, which was declared extinct in 1978 for the dictatorship, the need to recover and some of the productions developed in those classrooms is strengthened. They’re fundamental films to revitalize the historical conscience in an ethical and political sense as well as expressive; enabling at the same time new interpretations in relation to the commemoration of forty years of democracy.
