GOMEZ GOMEZ, Agustín. The Affective Turn in Carolina Moscoso Briceño’s Subjective Documentary Night Shot (2019). Palabra Clave [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.1, e2616.  Epub Feb 28, 2023. ISSN 0122-8285.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pacla.2023.26.1.6.

Night Shot (2019), Carolina Moscoso Briceño’s film directorial debut, is a self-referential film, heterogeneous in its narrative forms and staging strategies. It is a documentary in which experimental modes are inserted. We asked ourselves about the type of work of the self to which it belongs (autobiography, self-portrait) and focused on the different narrating voices it uses. We also considered the subjectivity of the story and the affective turn that occurs without the story’s veracity being altered. We hypothesize that Night Shot is a story that belongs to a work of the self that, from the present, inquires into the near past so that the retrospective exercise serves the author as a way of understanding herself and as a form of denunciation. To build it, she adopts an emotional approach without questioning the veracity.

Keywords : Autobiography; self-portrait; documentary cinema; affective turn; subjectivity.
