Metodology
The collective CAMPV20 (Construction of the Villa 20 popular memory archives) is a group with backgrounds in culture, the sciences and the arts, that creates neighborhood workshops, inviting people of all ages. In 2018, the group created a dedicated space for collective memory, that tours schools, and carries out community cinema workshops, and manages a website in which a collection of the found, donated and gathered material of Villa 20 is shared.
The documentary is the result of a community cinema, memory and environment workshop, developed together with a group of young documentarians from the neighborhood. The workshop functioned on 3 axes; environmental exploration of the audiovisual record, learning audiovisual techniques, and meetings with climate action projects. In this way a schedule of activities and exercises was developed to explore the environmental memory of Villa 20 and document this process of listening and learning. During the production process, neighbors joined the production group and participated in the construction of the narratives. The workshop implemented devices that awaken the collective memory and self-representation, in a context of conflict and systemic and climate collapse.
