A documentary film that looks at the "villa" (shantytown) from the inside
One of the projects supported by the "Aprendizaje-Servicio en las Artes" (Support Program for Solidarity Educational Institutions "Service-Learning in the Arts") is being carried out by students in the 3rd year of the Virgen Inmaculada del Barrio Ramón Carrillo Institute in the City of Buenos Aires. Students aim to address ways of communicating ideas and images related to the lives and practices of those who live there. Because social media constantly installs and deepens social stereotypes in relation to people who live in the neighborhoods called "emergency villages" and their way of being, living, working, studying and inhabiting (crime, drugs, unemployment, poverty) The students set out to show from an audiovisual point of view the other side of the neighborhood where the school and the educational community are located. Thus "El despertar" was born, a short film that was premiered in the framework of a Cultural Festival that took place between December 6 and 7 at the institution.
Fifty people were present among family members, friends, neighbors, night shift students of the adult plan. The projection had excellent effects and comments among those present. After the premiere there was a feedback from the students who expressed their impressions, commitment and joy for having been able to participate in the project. The students expressed the importance of being able to find their place in the project and take a role within the team by participating in production, filming with the camera, writing the script, costumes or logistics. The Cultural Festival included art workshops, murga, arts and science fair and a theater and rap show.
By 2018, they are planning a premiere with the entire neighborhood community at Independent Film Festival from Buenos Aires outskirts, to be held at UNTREF University. From CLAYSS we would like to congratulate the Institute and its students for such a wonderful project!
