Documenting and disseminating the curatorial process in the conformation of film series: the experience of the Luz Alterna magazine and other mechanisms of cinephile diffusion

Abstract

This article is part of the first stage of a research project that has been under development for just over 4 years, and in which the emergence and development of Cine Clubismo in Aguascalientes is rescued, taking as its starting point the history and curatorship of cycles of the Cine Club 16 mm and Cine Club Luz Alterna of the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes -during the period from 1985 to 2014-. In addition to analyzing the consequent cinephilia that gave rise to the movement, it also rescues the first publications of filmic texts that emerged in these spaces for critical analysis, as well as the dissemination mechanisms of the curatorial process and its open text proposal so that the public can have an impact on the writing and conformation of these. It is also a testimony of the alternative spaces in the cultural endeavor and of how its form of organization influenced current work models.
