SALA, Jorge. TO PAINT ONE’S OWN VILLAGE. TREATMENT OF SPACE IN LA DEUDA INTERNA (1988) AND LA ÚLTIMA SIEMBRA (1991). Folia [online]. 2021, n.40, pp.131-148. ISSN 0325-8238.  http://dx.doi.org/10.30972/fhn.0404718.

Miguel Pereira's works inaugurate the fictional cinematographic production in Jujuy. Made during the democratic transition in Argentina, his first feature films construct a particular look that manages to unify local themes, related to rural and Andean environment, with problems of national politics and history. The article aims to analyze the mode of construction of the space in The debt and The Last Sowing, understanding that they intertwine bets for the consolidation of some local features and the manner in which they interact (collide, dialogue) with that other place represented by the nation (constructed as an off camera space, but whose incidence is crucial). This work will also seek to make comparisons between both films, in order to find continuities and transformations.

Keywords : Argentine Cinema; Democratic transition; Space; Regional cinema.
