[Commlist] Release of (Dis)Appear - a documentary about memory, photography and Argentine dictatorship

24^th March 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the coup d’etat which 
brought Argentina’s most recent civic-military dictatorship to power. 
Thirty thousand people were killed and/or disappeared by state terrorism 
between 1976-1983. The exact fate and the whereabouts of the bodies of 
many victims remain unknown to this day.

To mark the anniversary, I have partnered up with the Buenos Aires 
Herald to release my documentary film, /(Dis)Appear 
<https://youtu.be/ZvY79iOJYNo>. It is now available to watch on the BAH 
website:/

/(Dis)Appear/is a documentary about the powerful relationship between 
photography, memory and the forced disappearances and systematic murder 
perpetrated by Argentina’s most recent civic-military dictatorship. It’s 
a film about the personal becoming political and about the important 
part private, family photography can play in the ongoing memory work 
related to survival, grief and the search for justice.

The film was made as part of a British Academy project entitled 
“Intimate moments, public acts: repurposed photography and the politics 
of memory in Argentina.”
