SUMMARY:The Hour of the Furnaces: A film screening with discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Hour of the Furnaces\nPart 1: Notes and Testimonies on Neocolonialism and Violence in Argentina\, 1968\, 84 minutes\nDir. Grupo Cine Liberación\nSpanish with English subtitles\nIn 1968\, Grupo Cine Liberación released their powerful documentary and visual essay\, The Hour of the Furnaces. This three-part film analyzes the severe neocolonial situation of 1960s Argentina\, radical wings of Peronism\, and the role of violence in the national liberation process. Part 1\, Notes and Testimonies on Neocolonialism focuses on the everyday violence of the Argentine\, employing a Marxist analysis between quotes from Martí\, Fanon\, Césaire\, Che\, Mariátegui\, and other revolutionary figures. The usage of avant-garde and mainstream techniques was meant to attack the passivity of the spectator and incite political action. The Hour of the Furnaces remains an essential film of militant cinema. \nThis discussion will go over the Third Cinema movement in Argentina\, the making of Grupo Cine Liberación’s The Hour of the Furnaces\, and it’s international influence. We will watch and analyze chapters from Part 1 and discuss how it relates to the greater context of (neo)colonialism in the Global South. \nGrupo Cine Liberación clandestinely filmed The Hour of the Furnaces in fear of repression by Juan Carlos Onganía’s dictatorship. Because of the subversive nature of the film\, attending the film became an act of resistance and was met with violent confrontation by the military. Members of the group\, filmmakers Fernando Solanas and Octavio Getino later wrote their manifesto\, Towards a Third Cinema\, reflecting on the filmmaking process under the political restraints\, which would later become the theoretical framework for the Third Cinema film movement.

SUMMARY:Crises and Uprisings in Latin America Today
DESCRIPTION:Four Thursdays with Gerardo Rénique and Fred Murphy\n \nJoin us for a closer look at the political and economic background to dramatic recent events in Latin America\, where a tremendous struggle is taking place between popular movements opposed to neoliberalism and authoritarianism\, and capitalist elites determined to defend their profits and privileges. Recent months have seen enormous uprisings by popular movements in Ecuador and Chile\, a violent right-wing coup in Bolivia\, the rise of a massive feminist movement in Argentina\, and in Haiti prolonged protests against President Jovenel Moïse. These developments come in the wake of crises and setbacks experienced by so-called “pink tide” governments that had sought to redistribute wealth and challenge decades of domination by US imperialism\, the IMF\, and local elites. \nGerardo Rénique teaches history at the City College of the City University of New York. He is a frequent contributor to Socialism and Democracy and NACLA: Report on the Americas. His research interests include the political traditions of popular movements in Latin America\, and race\, national identity and state formation in Mexico. \nFred Murphy has led numerous study groups at the Marxist Education Project since 2015. He studied and taught Latin American history at the New School for Social Research. In the 1980s he traveled in Latin America as a journalist for several socialist publications. \nAll fees are sliding scale. No one is turned away for inability to pay
