Abstract

This paper focuses on the journal Las Naves 1, manifiestos cinematográficos contemporáneos (2013) to see the way Posmodernism, as a philosophical and aesthetic movement, affects contemporary cinema manifestos. We start from considering the manifesto as a proposal of a "big narrative"", a programmatical and political statement, a statement of principle. To assert an identity involves the construction of an ""enemy"": this can clearly be seen in the cinema manifestos from the sixties and seventies, though it cannot be seen in its contemporary counterparts."
