Exploradores del caos, estrategas del abismo. Cartografía de la cara oculta del cine español contemporáneo

Abstract

The present article tries to plan the map of the alternative models of production arisen immediately after the crisis in the Spanish contemporary cinema. Departing from the idea of its cyclicity, the text illustrates, across the filmmakers and movies (or, to be more exact though also less precise, audio-visual experiences or in other means or supports) examples, three fundamental strategies that the professionals of our industry have adopted, namely: the decrease (mercy to the practise of episodic formats), the outsiderism (independent documentary, videocreation, multimedia) and the possibilism (television, videoclip, commercial documentary, low cost fiction, writing, teaching).
