Abstract
This article offers an interpretation of the found footage film Sucesos Intervenidos (Argentina, 2014). In particular, this article focuses on the relationship between audiovisual work and film archive. By reducing the work of 25 filmmakers to the montage of a given film archive, this film makes it possible to define the audiovisual practice from the perspective of the selection and reorganisation of images. Furthermore, Sucesos Intervenidos compromises a more general connection between labour and archive in the context of cognitive capitalism. Sucesos Intervenidos is a film about immaterial labour as the general paradigm of contemporary capitalism. This hypothesis also makes it possible to reflect on the notion of the film archive.
