Abstract

Thinking about the processes of transformation of the meanings of belonging and the discovery of an absolute foreignness, Spanish documentary cinema of the 2000s was based on a double emergency: the scenic landscape is immediately led to be real, while the Reality is inscribed in a (defiant) personification of filmic forms. The article discusses the metaphors of deterritorialization in the excavation of time, silence, emptiness and its remains in two fundamental Spanish documentary films of the 2000s: En Construcción (José Luis Guerín, 2000) and El Cielo Gira (Mercedes Álvarez, 2004).
