This film is currently not available.   

Puntos de vista proposes a mash-up built around certain notions, tropes and perils of historical discourse related to occupied lands in tropical regions. Comprised of American newsreels, propaganda shorts and amateur films highlighting Puerto Rico's industrialization process from the 1940's to the 1960's, this montage exercise focuses on the intricacies of image building within the context of contrasting cultures and manufactured consent while reframing the portrayal of the judicial political dynamics between the United States federal government and its unincorporated territories. At heart it's an experiment that seeks to repurpose implied narratives legitimizing forms of colonialism throughout the audiovisual language.
