The Centre for Iberian and Latin American Visual Studies invites you
to 'Rosebud Plan: On Documentalities, Sites and Politics of Memory' by
Marķa Ruido on Wednesday 28th May 2008, Screen on Gordon Square, 43 Gordon
Square, 12- 2.00 pm.
This event is part of Birkbeck Arts Week.
Dr Ruido is Visiting Researcher at Birkbeck College (February-June 2008).
She is
a Lecturer in Video Art, Documentary Films & Feminist Film Theory at the
Universitat de Barcelona and also a filmmaker and cultural producer. In
this
presentation, the screening of her videos for the research project 'Rosebud
Plan'
will be followed by a talk. The project explores the relationship between
representation and the politics of memory in Spain during the last few
decades,
and traces a comparative look at the United Kingdom within the context of
European democracies. Taking as a starting point recent debates around the
Law of Historical Memory, 'Rosebud Plan' proposes a retrospective glance at
the
Transition and its film production, paying close attention to militant
cinema
collectives and the different social movements they were linked to.
Admission is free. All welcome.
