GETINO LIMA, Alonso. Expectations and Experiences of a Marginal Cinema (1971-1976). Secuencia [online]. 2018, n.101, pp.232-255. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i101.1459.

The Marginal Film Cooperative emerged in September 1971. During the time it was active (1971-1976), it changed from an organization focused on film work to a group of union activists. The objective of the research was to understand the Cooperative in relation to the motivation of its members to establish it and undertake actions through it. The reconstruction of their contexts and personal processes made it possible to conclude that those who belonged to the organization went through similar paths of politicization. Likewise, the conceptions acquired in light of the experiences of everyday activism were an important factor in terms of the group’s transformation and fragmentation. This study contributed to the understanding of the 1970s in Mexico, a period when various artistic, political and communicative projects shared the social scene.
