El Poderoso Comedor Los Pibes

The popular canteen ‘Los Pibes' is much more than a ‘soup kitchen'. Situated in La Boca, Buenos Aires, it is an example of a new form of grassroots organisation, led by women who have refused to kneel down when attacked by the system. Not only have they created new forms of resistance, but they have also developed an alternative democratic model to challenge the anti-values of neo-liberalism. The impact of the military dictatorship, followed by the dismantling of the state and the selling off of public companies, has provoked a devastating social, political and economic crisis in Argentina. The power bloc, not satisfied with the 30,000 disappearances of the dictatorship, has put into practice a brutal form of neo-liberalism – another planned genocide according to Los Pibes. Since 1996 Los Pibes have been fighting back, looking for solutions to the problems of hunger, housing and unemployment. But the ‘canteen' is also fighting to disappear, by working towards a society in which organisations like this are no longer necessary.

El Perro Negro - Stories from the Spanish Civil War is a poetic collage of homemade movies, captured almost involuntary by amateur artists. Joan Salvans i Piera and Joan Ernesto Díaz Noriega are the two characters of this story: Ernesto, a middle class student in Madrid, who survives war; and Joan, a Catalan industrialist who is murdered six days after the outbreak of the conflict. Their films lead us through the Spain of the 30s and 40s.

A Welcome Guest in the House

National Association of Broadcasters

Tribute to television as an agent of public opinion in the face of the communist threat during the Cold War era. Directed by Cal Jones for Westinghouse Broadcasting Company in 1957, and promoted by the National Association of Broadcasters.

The Prelinger Archives are a source of educational material, mainly ordered by theme, giving a vision of the dark side, the underbelly, perhaps naive of the American dream and the America that is often hidden behind the media curtain.
