COGHI, Andrea. The narrative dimension of videocall: a study on film speech acts in two short films by Carlos Trujano. Rev. panam. comun. [online]. 2022, vol.4, n.1, pp.56-69.  Epub 27-Jun-2022. ISSN 2683-2208.  https://doi.org/10.21555/rpc.v4i1.2552.

This essay will consider two short films produced during the pandemic period by the emerging filmmaker Carlos Trujano. A double aspect will be underlined in its value as a group of examples of a film production method in the lockdown months and in the narrative force, which involves and develops the prospect of the video call as a means of narrative representation, fictional counterpart of the practical use that this communication channel has achieved in the last few years. Thanks to an audio-visual adaptation of the theoretical framework of the ‘speech acts in literary fiction’, as described in some works by H. Miller, an analysis will be made on the way in which two works, Videollamada and Lucía y Luís by Trujano, made in collaboration with the Coteatro company of B.U.A.P., propose two alternative forms of employing the imaginative power of the short film and the means of video call, emphasising, in the first case, the limitations of everyday’s dynamics as crudely depending on the collective hysteria linked to Coronavirus and, in the second case, in the possibility of construction of a highly emotional science fiction story around a video call. Thus the identification of two opposite extremes will be possible: the meaningful uses of the artistic mimesis and the performative cinematographic act, generated with the same technique and with similar means; likewise these two dimensions will be linked to some considerations on the creative use of remote means of communication.
