Abstract

In this article, we propose a reading of the film Los puños Frente al canón, recently made available in the digital collection of the Cineteca Universidad del Chile, which refers to the constitution of the Chilean labor movement from the retake of the archives. Filmed in 1975, the documentary directed by Orlando Lubbert and Gastón Ancelovici remained inaccessible for many years, was restored and shown in Chile in 2010 and became accessible online in 2020. Overall, the film tells the story of its emergence and development of the Chilean worker’s movement through the montage of archival images. We also seek to reflect on the return to this movement during the years of the dictatorship, by the directors, during the period in which they were subjected to exile.
