Hybridizing the traditions of experimental and political filmmaking, this project creates a memory of a forgotten event in the history of the Global South: the first Third World Filmmakers Meeting (Algiers, 1973) and its second iteration (Buenos Aires, 1974). The event served as a hub where “third-world” filmmakers discussed the role of filmmaking in anti-colonial struggles, made agreements, and strategized about how to produce films under dire political conditions. Based on an archive inherited from the artist’s mother —who collaborated with the organizers of the Meeting in the making of a film about the anti-colonial struggles in Africa for a Latin American audience— A Non Coincidental Mirror explores the networks of solidarity threaded throughout this story, and the historical forces that determined its outcome. Through historical research, compilation of oral accounts, and a critical examination of Third Cinema films and manifestos, A Non Coincidental Mirror recontextualizes this event and reimagines the 1974 documentary project that did not come to fruition. It experiments with storytelling, documentary forms, expanded cinema, and installation strategies to create a film installation that reconsiders the relationships that these cultural agents sought to weave, based on the trust that through cinema oppressed peoples could not only recognize each other, but work together towards their emancipation. The final output will be an experimental documentary film installation conceived to be shown in an exhibition space that will house associated discursive programming, projections, and a small publication. A feature length format will be developed simultaneously to amplify the project’s access and circulation.
