Films are cultural representations of societies that are both their producers and consumers. We live in a posliterary era, where the general public approaches to their past come from the cinema. That’s why historians cannot leave aside such an important instrument and ignore cinematographic productions that contribute to build the historic memory. Therefore, we need to consider the properties and possible uses of the image and, at the same time; we should analyze the filmic discourse from an historical point of view. Many research teams and authors in Argentina have notice these matters during the past years. In this article we will present a state of the art in the history-cinema relationship, including academic researches about filmic analysis of the past from the history as a science. To achieve these goals we will considerate several articles, publications and papers written over the last years.
