In recent years, the rise of the environmental humanities has transformed the ways in which relationships between image, territory, and ecological crisis are understood. Within this context, documentary cinema produced in Europe and Latin America has emerged as a space of experimentation where representations and discourses converge to reconfigure audiovisual imaginaries of human and non-human environments from epistemological perspectives that are either distant from or closely related to the Anthropocene. Most of these works originate within alternative circuits of production, circulation, and cultural legitimization. Drawing on a comparative perspective, this research examines, on the one hand, the political and epistemic discourses accompanying the emergence of environmental documentary cinema; on the other, the audiovisual forms through which certain documentaries render perceptible the ecological violences associated with extractivist modernity.
