Some of the filmmakers on this program explicitly embrace counterculture movements’ radical political goals while others’ ideological concerns are implicit, but all of the films are unified by their allegiance to a range of underground, youth, or countercultural phenomena. Several of the films document performances, ephemeral actions, or interventions in public space. Narcisa Hirsch’s Marabunta involves the interaction of a film audience after seeing Antonioni’s Blow-Up. Enrique Pineda Barnet’s Juventud, rebeldía, revolución offers documentation of a performance by an international collective led by Cuba’s Grupo de Teatro Experimental. Manuel DeLanda’s Ismism captures the filmmaker’s interventions on Manhattan billboards. Sérgio Péo’s Esplendor do martírio visualizes a group of intellectuals occupying and disrupting urban space, later to be removed by the Brazilian military. Rolando Peña, an iconic figure of Venezuela’s avant-garde, produces an impossible dialogue in Cotorra 2, echoing the complex relationship between intellectual debates and the noise of “progress.” Alfredo Gurrola’s Super-8 trip, based on a poem by Tomás Segovia, points to preoccupations of a radical, alternative culture. —Los Angeles Filmforum Films in this program:Juventud, rebeldía, revoluciónEnrique Pineda Barnet, Cuba, 1969Spanish with English subtitles30 mins, Color, 35mm transferred to digital IsmismManuel DeLanda, Mexico/US, 19796 mins, Silent, Color, Super 8 transfered to digital MarabuntaNarcisa Hirsch, Argentina, 19678 mins, B&amp;W, 16mm transferred to digital&nbsp;Esplendor do martírioSérgio Péo, Brazil, 197410 mins, Color, Super 8 transfered to digital Cotorra 2Rolando Peña, Venezuela, 197610 mins, Color, Super 8 transfered to digital Segunda primera matrizAlfredo Gurrola, Mexico, 1972Based on: a poem by Tomás SegoviaSpanish with English subtitles13 mins, Color, Super 8 transfered to digital
