Video documental sobre las estéticas que realiza la cinematografía quiteña en las películas “Ratas, Ratones y Rateros” y “A Tus Espaldas”

Abstract

This research aims to make visible through a documentary video, how Quito's cinematography presents a filmic variation during long years of production in Ecuador, specifically from the premiere of the film "Ratas, ratones y rateros" in 1999 directed by Sebastián Cordero, to the film "A tus espaldas" in 2011 directed by Tito Jara. This motive allows us to know the aesthetics that were produced in both films; besides understanding this chronological process that shows, how communication and narratives are present within them in different ways of expression of thoughts and desires about certain real or fictitious stories that were in full swing for the time of production. Also, to understand how cinema works today and under what aesthetic parameters it is produced. It is important to emphasize that communication and aesthetics are key in the context of Quito's cinema, and for that, it is necessary to have the directors' versions of the chosen films and also, two experts in cinematographic narrative in order to obtain relevant and real data and information about how these aesthetic processes took place in pre-production, production and post-production, through the in-depth interview, which with open questions it is possible to meticulously decipher the reality of the other.
