Abstract
This article seeks to show how the memories of the Colombian armed conflict are constructed based on college audiovisual narratives during 2005-2014. Clearly, videos evince different narrative purposes according to the audiovisual format they used; while the fiction short films focus on ethical questioning. Documentaries do more than displaying the traumatic events from the victim’s memories; they also narrate the efforts to overcome those traumas through the art and the contact with nature. It provides an opening to new horizons of a pacific life. It is noticeable that experimental videos use more audacious languages that penetrate the viewer’s conscience with symbolic denunciation intended to disclose maleficent alliances between politics, violence and the media that serve the big multinational capitals.
