Redes militantes y afectivas para un cine hecho por mujeres (Argentina, 1988) Visconti, Marcela Film festivals Women Feminism Democracy Culture Festivales de cine Mujeres Feminismo Democracia Cultura In 1988, the city of Mar del Plata hosted the first edition of the “Women and Film” International Women’s Film Festival, a trailblazing space aimed at disseminating the work of female directors from around the world with the goal of encouraging women’s involvement in filmmaking. The festival opened up a zone of circulation and visibility for films made by women, giving rise to an environment of collaboration and work-related and affective support which proved central as a means to establish the realm of filmmaking, with its associated trades, as an area for women to work in. Based on a feminist strategy of re-writing history that enables new emphases and approaches to emerge, and assuming a premise which posits the need to think of cinema as an object crossed by formal and aesthetic tensions, but also institutional, social, and affective ones, this paper aims at historicizing the creation of the festival as a form of association born in the spaces of activism where women met, spaces that had gained momentum in the Argentine cultural field after the return of democracy in 1983, fostering an exchange of experiences –and the recognition of one’s own experience in the collective– as the foundation of feminist political action.    En 1988 se celebra en Mar del Plata la primera edición del Festival Internacional de Cine Realizado por Mujeres “La mujer y el cine”, un espacio pionero que busca dar a conocer la obra de directoras de todo el mundo con el fin de alentar la labor femenina en el quehacer cinematográfico. El festival abre una zona de circulación y de visibilidad para el cine hecho por mujeres, creando un entorno de colaboración y de apoyo laboral y afectivo que fue decisivo para consolidar el campo del cine y sus oficios como un área de trabajo para las mujeres. Desde una estrategia feminista de reescritura de la historia orientada a producir nuevos énfasis y enfoques, y asumiendo una premisa que sostiene la necesidad de pensar el cine como un objeto atravesado por tensiones formales y estéticas tanto como institucionales, sociales y afectivas, este artículo se propone historizar la creación del festival como una forma de asociacionismo que toma impulso desde los espacios de encuentro y militancia de mujeres, que habían cobrado fuerza en el campo cultural argentino tras la apertura democrática en 1983 promoviendo un intercambio de experiencias –y el reconocimiento de lo propio en lo colectivo– como base de la acción política feminista.  Editorial de la Facultad de Artes, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba 2023-11-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html application/epub+zip https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/toma1/article/view/42816 10.55442/tomauno.n11.2023.42816 Toma Uno; No. 11 (2023): 40 años de democracia: imaginarios y narrativas en cine y artes audiovisuales; 65-81 TOMA UNO; Núm. 11 (2023): 40 años de democracia: imaginarios y narrativas en cine y artes audiovisuales; 65-81 2250-4524 2313-9692 10.55442/tomauno.n11.2023 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/toma1/article/view/42816/42955 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/toma1/article/view/42816/42956 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/toma1/article/view/42816/42957 Derechos de autor 2023 Marcela Visconti http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/ar/
