<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="">This talk locates key elements of the politics and aesthetics of Latin American Third Cinema in anti-colonial reportage films made in Poland in the 1960s and 1970s. The point is not to posit an alternative origin of a form of
militant cinema first conceptualized by Argentinian filmmakers Fernando Solanas and Octavio Getino in the late 1960s, but to draw attention to the shared ideological and material conditions, as well as points of influence, that allowed it to develop simultaneously
in different corners of the world struggling for the right to national self-determination. I argue that, when seen from standpoint of the “satellite state,” the Eastern Bloc’s support for anti-imperialism abroad was frequently in contradiction with it practices
at home. This contradiction was the basis on which of a more thoroughly anti-imperialist socialist politics could have, and occasionally did, emerge during the Cold War—in aesthetic form if not often in political practice.</p>
