The contemporary representation of otherness. Llorenç Soler, a filmmaker at the margins

Llorenç Soler deserves greater recognition for his fundamental role in documentary filmmaking, as a critical testimony about contemporary Spanish society, and for the revision of the audiovisual perspective regarding the social construction of the Other, as otherness. Within the framework of the sociology of communication and dialogical anthropology, we applied a qualitative methodology of film analysis to three emblematic works in the margins of hybridization between fiction and documentary. The results indicate the validity of his authorial discourse in the subjective function of documentary as a territory where poetics surpass reality.
