Teodoro and Santiago Ríos. A brief affair with Amateur Cinema during the 70’s
Abstract
During the 70s in the Canary Islands we find an interesting group of filmmakers that work in non-professional formats. Their short films and their theorist discussions, between the naivety, the experimentalism and the political and social compromise were a good example of the artistic positions that unleashed during the Spanish Transition. This study starts with a short journey through the technical and ideological issues that surrounded the group and also analyzes the first works of Teodoro and Santiago Ríos, the most relevant figures of the movement and main characters in the cinematographic scene in the Canary Islands through the 80s.
