Abstract
La narración en Género: Romance surge de las experiencias personales de las directoras. El
amor es un tema que personalmente les interesa a ambas a nivel general e individual y que ha
significado el entendimiento de muchos aspectos importantes en sus vidas. Por ello, como
realizadoras audiovisuales que se han enamorado, reconocen la necesidad de mostrar la
complejidad del enamoramiento frente a una industria cultural donde se ha idealizado el amor
romántico y sus procesos emocionales, a partir de cuentos de hadas y comedias románticas.
Este relato se construye desde la intimidad de las directoras, recogiendo sensaciones,
pensamientos y miedos de sus experiencias en el amor. Esto se efectuó, a través de la revisión
de textos escritos y sentimientos en los procesos de ruptura y duelo de relaciones pasadas. Se
adopta la postura de un yo del pasado. La distancia temporal permite complementar esos
pensamientos con ideas más recientes, producto de los propios procesos de reflexión. A partir
de ello, se plantean cuatro etapas: ilusión, ruptura, duelo y sanación. En cada una de ellas, el
relato transita por un proceso de evolución, donde poco a poco se genera una suerte de
entendimiento y de escucha entre ambas directoras, a pesar de tener experiencias muy
distintas. Finalmente, se intenta dar una nueva forma de relato y replantear la imagen de “la
chica de la comedia romántica”, aquella que ha sido construida bajo arquetipos
heteropatriarcales, para presentar una nueva figura más independiente y activa en su propia
historia de amor. Entonces, ¿cómo saber si te has enamorado?. Realmente no existe una
fórmula establecida, solo confiar y aceptar que el “felices para siempre” no es una necesidad
imperativa.
The narrative in Género: Romance arises from the director’s personal experiences. Love is a subject that personally interests both creators on a general and individual level and that has guided the understanding of many important aspects in their lives. For this reason, as filmmakers who have fallen in love, they recognize the need to show the complexity of falling in love in the face of a cultural industry where romantic love and its emotional processes have been idealized, based on fairy tales and romantic comedies. This story is developed from the privacy of the directors, collecting feelings, thoughts, and fears from their experiences of being in love. This was done through the review of written texts and feelings in the processes of breakup and mourning of past relationships. The narrative voice is the self from the past. The temporal distance allows complementing these thoughts with more recent ideas, products of the reflection process themselves. From this, four stages are proposed: illusion, rupture, mourning and healing. In each of them, the story goes through a process of evolution, where little by little a kind of understanding and listening is generated between the two directors, despite having very different experiences. Finally, an attempt is made to give a new form of story and rethink the image of "the girl in the romantic comedy", one that has been constructed under heteropatriarchal archetypes, to present a new, more independent, and active figure in her own love story. So, how do you know if you have fallen in love? There really is no set formula, just trusting and accepting that "happily ever after" is not an imperative need.
