This work is an approach to the film Homenaje a Nicanor Parra (1968) by Jaime Barrios and its relevance in current discussions about cinema, experimentation and politics in the late 1960´s. The work highlights the relationship between Barrios cinematic practice and the antipoetry of Nicanor Parra in the broader context of the countercultural movements and the political debates generated by the screening of this film at the Cineteca of the University of Chile in 1968.
