Mendoza Marks Bodoc Day With Book Launch and In-Person Film Premieres

Organizers say the programs rescue Bodoc's workshop teachings in print with in-person film showings to revive communal cultural practice

Overview

  • Local cultural institutions held coordinated tributes on Tuesday July 21 that combined a book presentation at Teatro Quintanilla with exclusive film and short-film screenings across the city.
  • Editorial de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la UNCuyo (EdiFYL) released Volume II, Volver a conocer el fuego, of a trilogy transcribing Liliana Bodoc's creative-writing workshops and confirmed a third volume is planned for 2027.
  • Volume I had sold out at the Buenos Aires Book Fair and required a reprint, a sign of strong public interest in recovering Bodoc's teaching voice for new readers and writers.
  • The Los Libertadores collective screened Tras la montaña, sendero de los confines, a 100-minute documentary following four climbers along the Sendero de Gran Recorrido and its creators have chosen to avoid digital release to prioritize shared, slow-viewing experiences.
  • The Biblioteca Pública General San Martín premiered the short film Cuando San Pedro viajó en tren and hosted a panel, activities, and a musical closing with free entry but limited capacity, an effort organized with Fundación Bodoc and local literary partners to steward Bodoc's legacy.
