Faithful to his conception of filmmaking as a pooling of resources, Alejandra Riera proposes yet again, with the Brazilian collective UEINZZ, a “document-film”, an object which is by principle unfinished. This is a silent ohpera, with the “h” evincing both the muteness of what is still to be spoken as well as an exclamation. Made up of six tales and three interludes, this film interrogates the restoration of Columbus’ statue in Buenos Aires and evokes painter Courbet’s rôle in Paris Commune. This is an investigation wherein editing, unfoldings, connections and political protest are the real issues. (NF)
