The Colombian Cinema and his Correlate in The History

Abstract

In the article they present five moments of the Colombian cinema and his correlate with historical events of this country. One refers to the first movie version of the novel The Maria de Jorge Isaac, directed by the Spanish Máximo Calvo in whom one portrays the social contrasts in a context in which, the large estate, the slavery and the economy of the big household tasks, were using as backdrop to a history impregnated with melodramatic motivations, in the landscape of the Valley of the Cauca. Is commented that with the movie Bajo el Cielo Antioqueño (Under the sky antioqueño), directed by Arturo Acevedo Vallarino, there appears the joint of the technical evolution, the relating to the moment prosperity of a region and the collection of novels of a representative segment of prominent figures of the provincial middle class.

Among the conclusions one indicates that with films like Satan (2007) and Roa (2013) directed ones for Andi Baiz there are explored primary and secondary prominent figures of the Colombian history; that there are many histories for be telling, and that in this evolution of the wheel of the history, the treatments, the scripts and the statements that reflect Colombia on the screens and in the time, is, probably a way for the recovery of the memory and identity.
