El Realismo Socialista

As a “political soap opera”, Ruiz described the unfinished EL REALISMO SOCIALISTA, which was supposed to be about the friendship between a party official and a working-class never-do-well”. Planned as a satirical commentary on the self-image and debate culture of the Unidad Popular, the film was certainly intended as an agitational contribution to the discussion of "How does the revolution enter into the subject?" Then, however, at the stage of more than four hours of film-in-the-rough, the project became a victim of the times in form of the military coup. Valeria Sarmiento has now taken on the material recovered in 2016: a (re-)discovery!
