La historia invisible

2013
The Conquest of the Desert was the offensive of the Argentine State to evict the indigenous peoples of Patagonia in order to advance over vast portions of land, fragment them, and market them. Beyond the military campaign there were a series of extermination operations. An unwritten final solution supported by forced exodus, concentration camps, the elimination of the indigenous families through starvation, disease or slave labor. The protagonists of The Invisible History are descendants of the Mapuches who are trying to reconstruct their original identity. The film makes the wound, which is still open, visible, in order to make room for debate on a different conception of the country, inclusive and multicultural.

The Navajos. In the 19th century, this peaceful people first survived extermination, at a time when, according to General Sheridan's famous phrase, "the only good Indian is a dead Indian." They then endured, between 1864 and 1866, the "Long Walk" of deportation to New Mexico, which left many of them in the red dust. The 1968 Treaty of Fort Sumner restored one-fifth of their current territory. Twenty years later, an aggressive assimilation policy was introduced, with the motto simply being that "you have to kill the Indian to save the man."

A photo that you hold in your hand immediately after clicking? 70 years ago this was an almost magical innovation! The story begins in the post-war period with the brilliant American inventor Dr. Edwin Land. Polaroid’s instant photography is born, a phenomenon that subsequently shapes whole generations of snap shooters and photographers, attracting a wide array of wildly experimenting artists. Half a century and a digital revolution later, the demise of Polaroid seems unavoidable. But the presumably dead keep on living. What follows is the miraculous resurrection of a cult object in a world dominated by Smartphones. SUBITO is not just an originally narrated film about the origin and importance of instant photography, it is also a highly amusing insight into popular culture and the untiring human enthusiasm for technical novelty. Renowned film artist Peter Volkart ventures into feature film length for the first time with this fascinating and sprightly narrated documentary essay.
