Resumo: This article brings some philosophical conceptions about forgiveness and testimony closer to the filmic experience of Vann Nath, a painter and survivor of the Cambodian genocide perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge between 1975 and 1979. The Khmer Rouge Death Machine (2003), by Rithy Pahn, whose narrative proposes a confrontation between executioners and victims all exposed equally, without pre-judgments. In the work, the figure of Vann Nath gives life to the impossible: a face-to-face gesture of forgiveness and reconciliation with the perpetrators. S21 thematizes Nath's paintings, reminiscent images understood here as marks of witness to the genocide, as they uniquely portray the torture and violations imposed on Cambodian citizens taken prisoner at that time; but not only that, they update, in the present, the confrontation with the genocide that is unforgettable, (un)forgivable.

Nath que es el hilo conductor del documental S21 – la maquina de matar de los jemeres rojos (2003), de Rithy Pahn, cuya narrativa propone un enfrentamiento entre víctimas y verdugos, todos expuestos por igual, sin prejuicios. En la obra, la figura de Vann Nath parece ofrecer vida a lo imposible: un gesto de perdón y reconciliación cara a cara con los perpetradores. S21 tematiza las pinturas de Nath, imágenes reminicentes entendidas aquí como marcas de testimonio del genocidio, ya que retratan de manera única las torturas y violaciones impuestas a los ciudadanos camboyanos hechos prisioneros; pero no sólo eso, actualizan, en el presente, el enfrentamiento al genocidio como una fisura inolvidable, (in)perdonable.O presente artigo aproxima algumas concepções filosóficas acerca do perdão e do testemunho à experiência fílmica de Vann Nath, um pintor e sobrevivente do genocídio cambojano perpetrado pelo Khmer Vermelho entre 1975 e 1979. Nath que é o fio condutor do documentário S21 – A máquina da morte do Khmer Vermelho (2003), de Rithy Pahn, cuja narrativa propõe um confronto entre vítimas e vitimários, todos expostos igualmente, sem pré-julgamentos. Na obra a figura de Vann Nath parece ofertar vida ao impossível: um gesto de perdão e reconciliação face a face com os perpetradores. S21 tematiza as pinturas de Nath, imagens reminiscentes aqui compreendidas como marcas do testemunho do genocídio, na medida em que retratam de forma singular as torturas e violações impostas aos cidadãos do Camboja feitos prisioneiros àquela época; mas não só, atualizam, no presente, a confrontação com o genocídio enquanto fissura inesquecível, (im)perdoável.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2023-06-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/revistafamecos/article/view/4289810.15448/1980-3729.2023.1.42898Revista FAMECOS; Vol. 30 No. 1 (2023): Single Volume ; e42898Revista FAMECOS; Vol. 30 Núm. 1 (2023): Volumen único ; e42898Revista FAMECOS; v. 30 n. 1 (2023): Volume Único ; e428981980-37291415-054910.15448/1980-3729.2023.1reponame:Revista FAMECOS: Mídia cultura e tecnologiainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/revistafamecos/article/view/42898/28007Copyright (c) 2023 Revista FAMECOShttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLessa Filho, RicardoVieira, Frederico2024-04-05T12:55:07Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/42898Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/revistafamecosPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/revistafamecos/oai||revistafamecos@gmail.com1980-37291980-3729opendoar:2024-04-05T12:55:07Revista FAMECOS: Mídia cultura e tecnologia - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
