Abstract

The novel Manèges. Petite histoire argentine (2007) by author Laura Alcoba, based on her childhood memories during the last Argentine military dictatorship, and its film adaptation by filmmaker Valeria Selinger (La casa de los conejos, 2020) serve as a framework for this discussion with both creators. The interview addresses not only the complex realization that goes with any film adaptation, but also asks for the possibilities of expression with that cinematographic image and language contribute to the creation of visual documents of memories about violence and exile, both personal and collective.
