Fernando Birri: Eine Bibliographie

Hans-Jürgen Wulff, Ludger Kaczmarek, Franz Obermeier

Westerkappeln: DerWulff.de (2014), 22 pp.

"Fernando Birri wurde als Nachkomme italienischer Auswanderer am 13.3.1925 in Santa Fe de la Vera Cruz (Argentinien) geboren. Er ist nicht nur (Dokumentarfilm-) Regisseur, sondern auch Theoretiker, Dichter und Puppenspieler. Birri studierte Film am Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rom; schon ... vor dem Abschluss (1952) entstand der kurze Dokumentarfilm Selinunte (1951), kurz danach Alfabeto Notturno (über eine Abendschule im sizilianischen Toretta, in der Analphabeten lesen lernen). Zusammen mit dem renommierten Regisseur Mario Verdone, der als Professor am Centro Sperimentale arbeitete, führte er bei Immagini popolari siciliane sacre e profane Regie (1953). Mitwirkungen an Filmen von Carlo Lizzani und Vittorio de Sica folgten ebenso wie Kleinauftritte als Schauspieler und Arbeiten als Drehbuchautor. Birri kehrte 1956 nach Argentinien zurück und gründete in seiner Geburtsstadt das Instituto de Cinematogrfía de la Universidad del Litoral, die erste Filmschule Lateinamerikas. Zusammen mit seinen Studenten drehte er von 1956 bis 1958 den sozialkritischen Dokumentarfilm Tire dié (Gib’ den Groschen; aka: Einen Groschen!); der Film war gleichzeitig ein erster Beitrag zu der Vorstellung einer kollektiven Produktionsweise des Films, eine Programmatik, die Birri in einer ganzen Reihe von Manifesten niederlegte (vor allem in: „Manifest für ein nationales realistisches, kritisches und populäres Kino” [aka „Manifiesto de Los inundados”], 1962). Birri wurde schnell zu einer der Gründungsfiguren des Neuen Lateinamerikanischen Kinos (explizit auf dem Ersten Festival des Neuen Lateinamerikanischen Kinos in Havanna [1979] als solche nominiert [1]). Diesen Ruf festigte er durch den Spielfilm Los inundados (Die Überfluteten, 1961), der bei den Filmfestspielen von Venedig uraufgeführt und beim Festival in Karlovy Vary präsentiert und ausgezeichnet wurde; der Film erzählt die Geschichte einer Familie, die nach einer Überschwemmung Quartier in einem Eisenbahnwaggon nimmt, nicht wissend, dass dieser an einen Zug angekoppelt ist – aber sie trifft auf ihren Irrfahrten überall auf freundliche Helfer; erst die Behörden beenden das glückliche Leben im Waggon. La Pampa gringa (1963) erzählt von argentinischen Einwanderern. 1964 folgt das Buch La Escuela Documental de Santa Fe, das Birris Arbeit als Lehrer und die in seiner Schule entstandenen Projekte dokumentiert. Die Unruhen 1965 und der Militärputsch 1966 zwangen ihn dazu, Argentinien zu verlassen. Seine Filme wurden verboten, die Schule geschlossen [...] (Seite 1) more
