Re: What NACLA used to read like

This morning I went down to the NY Public Library to make a copy of a pamphlet 
from 1975 that is not available in the Columbia Library--something of an 
anomaly. Titled "Argentina in the Hour of the Furnaces", and written by a group 
of radical scholars under thhe NACLA imprint (North American Congress on Latin 
America), it contains figures on multinational penetration of Argentine 
capital.

re. title of above article...

Argentinian "guerrilla" filmmakers Fernando Solanas and Octavio Getino coined 
the term "Third Cinema" to give identity to their clandestine 1968 documentary 
La Hora de los Hornos (Hour of the Furnaces), the production of which indicated 
cracks in the "system" as well as resistance to it.    The two were part of a 
collective (Grupo Cine Liberación) committed to militant politics and 
experimental film.  Hour of the Furnaces' more than four hours running time was 
divided into three segments - a radical history of Argentina, an assessment of 
Juan Perón and Peronism, and consideration of the role and meaning of violence 
in political struggle.  Each section of the movie was shown independently of 
the others in non-theater settings conducive to the collective's desire to 
periodically stop the projector and facilitate audience discussion.
