LOS 20 AÑOS DE CINE OJO. La cámara <strong>de</strong> cine, afirmaba Dziga Vertov, es un ojo tecnológico<br />

y sutil, apto para captar lo que a simple vista se disimula o hasta permanece<br />

invisible. El documental era, para aquel pionero, el arma <strong>de</strong>cisiva <strong>de</strong> revelación <strong>de</strong><br />

un mundo a transformar mediante el cine. Ya hace dos décadas que, haciendo suya<br />

esa impronta vertoviana, <strong>Cine</strong>ojo renueva y enriquece la aventura <strong>de</strong>l documental en<br />

nuestras latitu<strong>de</strong>s.<br />

En sus primeros años abrió una necesaria vía testimonial, que hizo visible cuestiones<br />

cruciales, pasadas y presentes, <strong>de</strong> lo real en la Argentina. Posteriormente y hasta<br />

hoy, se ha erigido en referente ineludible <strong>de</strong>l documental <strong>de</strong> creación, o lo que algunos<br />

prefieren llamar el nuevo documental. Su política <strong>de</strong> producción ha permitido,<br />

por otra parte, la multiplicación <strong>de</strong> realizaciones con las que autores, films y espectadores<br />

pue<strong>de</strong>n interrogarse sobre la implicación y las posibilida<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong>l cine — no<br />

sólo <strong>de</strong>l documental — en el mundo contemporáneo.<br />

Podría afirmarse que el trabajo emprendido por <strong>Cine</strong> Ojo en el campo <strong>de</strong>l documental<br />

posee los contornos <strong>de</strong> una crucial clínica y <strong>de</strong>puración <strong>de</strong> la mirada, revitalizando<br />

algunas premisas fundamentales <strong>de</strong>l cine que el discurso <strong>de</strong>l audiovisual<br />

globalizado, fundado en una cultura mercantil-espectacular, se empeña en reprimir.<br />

En este ejercicio <strong>de</strong> creación y <strong>de</strong> resistencia, estos veinte años — el tiempo <strong>de</strong> toda<br />

una generación — marca a la vez los hitos <strong>de</strong> un camino y las promesas <strong>de</strong> una<br />

marcha renovada.<br />

20 YEARS OF CINE OJO. The movie camera, said Dziga Vertov, is a subtle technological EDUARDO A. RUSSO<br />

eye, ready to capture what at a single glance is disguised or even invisible. A documentary<br />

was, for such a pioneer, the <strong>de</strong>cisive means for revealing a world ready to<br />

be transformed through the movies. It’s been two <strong>de</strong>ca<strong>de</strong>s since, having ma<strong>de</strong> that<br />

statement its own, that <strong>Cine</strong>ojo renews and enriches the adventure of documentaries<br />

in our latitu<strong>de</strong>s.<br />

During its first years it testimonially opened the way, raising crucial questions, past<br />

and present, of reality in Argentina. Subsequently and to this day, it has erected in<br />

reference to the inescapable documentary of creation, or what some prefer calling<br />

the new documentary. Its production politics has permitted, on the other hand, the<br />

multiplication of tasks with which authors, films and spectators can be interrogated<br />

on its consequences and the possibilities of the movies — not only documentaries<br />

— in the contemporary world.<br />

COLABORA:<br />

One could say that the work that <strong>Cine</strong> Ojo has un<strong>de</strong>rtaken in the field of documentaries<br />

has all the ground work of a crucial analysis and a refined look, revitilizing some<br />

of the fundamental premise of the movies rather than a speech on the globalized<br />

audiovisual, based on a commercial-spectacular culture, which is impelled to supress.<br />

In this exercise of resistance and creation, these twenty years — the time of<br />

a whole generation — simultaneously marking a milestone in our path and promises<br />

of a renewed pace.<br />
