if you can find it i would reccomend _la hora de los hornos_ the
argentine version and not the cuban version.

>I am teaching a class on "collectivities" - so far, this has involved
>mainly Soviet texts and films, but as we proceed on, issues of more
>immediate relevance started coming up, and I would like to do at least
>a reasonably good job even there :-). Namely, we started talking of

>in terms of American (middle class) communes than in the Third World
>today, in Africa on the one hand, and distribution co-ops (such as
>fair trade cocoa) visibly prevented from extending the collective into
>production, and on the other hand, regarding Brazil after PT's
>electoral victory and Lula's presidency. Farming collectives
>and "multiple forms of property" with socialist if not communist
>intent- to the extent I know - are a political theme: if one carefully
>repressed from the eyes of the creditors and creditor politicians.
>In which context, the question of possible films, both narrative and
