Those Ladies Who March Far Away. Images for Memory, Memory of Images. Critical Revisions of History in the Films Of Licinio Azevedo And Shohei Imamura: Individual Experience As a Motor of Ideological Memory
Abstract
The article addresses the theme of memory through oral testimony and the documentary constructed on the basis of these testimonies, focusing on the documentary work of two filmmakers who, despite the distances, share certain common concerns: the Japanese Shohei Imamura and the Brazilian/Mozambican Licinio Azevedo. Both are concerned with intrahistory and giving a voice back to those who have been silenced by mainstream history. And both share concerns about the boundaries and hybridisations between fiction and documentary. In this way, the analysis reflects on the contamination of reality and fiction, film as testimony and as an element of vindication and social, political and ideological agitation. And also on the honesty of the gaze linked to aesthetic and narrative decisions, inseparable from each other.
