Interview done in march 2005, in Belgrano, Buenos Aires.
The Audiovisual Archive celebrated its first two years.
Over the last two years, the Audiovisual Archive of Writers has set a different way of spreading literature. As it consolidated itself an archive, the material produced has found a place in each communication media of Buenos Aires city, offering the public a wide range of languages to communicate the bringing closer to reading and the experience of the literary work.
This audio and video website has been consolidated, with fragments of the produced interviews, documentary chronologies on the writers’ lives and works, sections with readings for children, book readings suggestions, and tributes to dead writers (also in audio and video format).
80 Argentinean writers have been interviewed, and this material is the documentary base of the first audiovisual archive of the country exclusively dedicated to literature (narrative, poetry and theater). To this base, they are added more than 500 historic registries with the voice and image of the Argentinean writers of the s. XX and XXI.
From the interviews, they have been produced 50 TV programs ("Obra en construcción"), broadcasted by Ciudad Abierta channel, and 200 radio microprograms ("Las Plumas"), broadcasted by the Buenos Aires city radio FM 2x4 Tango.
The Audiovisual Archive of Writers is a project that renews the traditional archive concept. The documents produce, communicate, interact with the audience or web surfers.
The voices and images of our writers bring us closer to the value of their works. They are a bridge over time. They allow us to recognize ourselves in their words. That is the work the Buenos Aires Audiovisual Archive of Writers is proud to do: An Audiovisual Literature Memory.
