Resumen:
Sumario:This essay studies three Latin American documentary experiences that work with archived visual memory. An anthropologist becomes fascinated with an old photographic archive in La Paz, Bolivia. The story of an imaginary researcher who finds some movies about an island far away in the Pacific Ocean, and travels to it, and from there he writes to a friend. Finally, the story of a filmmaker who searched for The Life of General Villa (1914), found fragments of it in La venganza de Pancho Villa (1931), the filmmaker passionate of his own story begins to buy lots of films, old mechanical cinema, and all kinds of visual instruments to live in a utopia called Anarchivia.
