Abstract
A partir de una experiencia de rodaje real, este texto ofrece una reflexión sobre las posibilidades que ofrece el cine comunitario cuando se utiliza en contextos urbanos afectados por la inseguridad, la pobreza y la estigmatización social.
Se aborda primeramente la creciente importancia adquirida por este tipo de cine en América Latina en las últimas décadas y su vínculo con otras corrientes cinematográficas y epistemológicas propias de este continente. A continuación, se presentan las fases de producción de un cortometraje comunitario realizado en un barrio popular de la periferia de Cartagena de Indias (Colombia) en 2023.
Esta forma de expresión cinematográfica se revela como una estrategia innovadora de intervención sociocultural y artística útil para combatir la violencia, fortalecer el tejido social de los territorios, derribar prejuicios culturales, favorecer el diálogo intergeneracional e intercultural y consolidar la identidad cultural y la memoria colectiva de los que no tienen voz.
Drawing from a genuine filming experience, this text proffers a reflection on the possibilities that community cinema offers in urban contexts impacted by insecurity, poverty and social stigmatisation. It commences by addressing the growing importance acquired by this cinematic genre in Latin America in recent decades and its association with other cinematographic and epistemological currents characteristic of the continent. The subsequent section details the production phases of a community short film produced in a popular neighbourhood on the outskirts of Cartagena de Indias (Colombia) in 2023. The text goes on to reveal this form of cinematographic expression as an innovative strategy of sociocultural and artistic intervention, useful to combat violence, strengthen the social fabric of the territories, overthrow cultural prejudices, promote intergenerational and intercultural dialogue and consolidate the cultural identity and collective memory of those who have no voice.
