Prosthetic Memory: Postmemory and Documentary Film in Contemporary Spainx
Keywords:
Postmemory, Civil War, Franco’s Dictatorship, Documentary Film
Abstract
This paper approaches the representation of the Spanish Civil War and Franco’s dictatorship in the films directed by the generation of grandchildren of the victims and survivors of that turbulent chapter of history. By analyzing three documentaries (Haciendo memoria, Nadar y Tierra encima) we will try to map the ways in which these young filmmakers work the memory of those years of repression. We also address the way they reflect on memory, history and visual language.Downloads
