Abstract

Mapa (2012) of Elías León Siminiani is a film that brings together a set of related and contradictory concepts. It is fiction, documentary, diary, memory, autobiography, self-portrait, road movie... while it plays with a text in which are subsumed paratexts, intertexts and metatexts. Its director provides us a film of self in a complicated exercise of self-referentiality, in which author, narrator and character are shown in the same entity. This paper is an analysis of the mechanisms that he has used to build a story in which the effect of reality prevails over any other.
