Look for "El Pejesapo" by José Luis Sepúlveda in terms of recent
alternative chilean editing and for any films by Glauber Rocha within
his "hunger aesthetic" of the 1960's. If you look at "Deus e o Diabo
na Terra do Sol" (1964) by Glauber Rocha, you will see an entirely
different approach to narrative cinema at large, and in particular to
editing. He intentionally breaks every continuity rule for a larger
purpose, much like with Neuvelle Vague filmmakers but with a different
socio-political (and thus aesthetic) view. "El Pejesapo" is almost a
continuation of that line of work, but much more recent (2007) and
aimed at getting the audience to really feel like they're "with" a
criminal, an outcast. While the storytelling is fairly narrative and
straightfoward (and not experimental in that sense), the use of
editing and photography break from the mold and can be really
considered "alternative".
Read up on it. Watch the films. Form your own opinion. Comment how the
class went.
Best of Luck!
