Ritm-Zoo (1956)

Synopsis

A symphony of the animal park where the rhythm of jazz are crisscrossed with unforeseen movements and games between animals with the means of in-camera editing. This work was one of the favourites of Lidia García Millán, who deeply investigated the importance of sound in cinema. From this concern came her choice to make a type of non-narrative cinema, where sound (incidental in some of her works) was given special prominence. At the time, this led to disagreements among Uruguayan film culture agents, who sought to create a national cinema geared towards Europe. Thanks to feminist genealogies, her work is now considered a historical reference.
