Abstract

The article aims to explore the articulation of documentary, autobiography and family archives proposed by Javier Olivera in La sombra (2015). On the one hand, the study of this film will allow us to analyze the tendency to the inscription of the first person and the power of the filmmaker’s self within the framework of this essay with an autobiographical dimension. On the other hand, we will inquire the interventions made on family archives in order to promote a rewriting of history and a topographic transformation of family ties.
