Sometimes we get distracted and surprised thinking that film history is, more than the history of the uses of techniques, the history of its progress. And in that confusion, the state of the world chooses to see conviction. But film history itself has always left clear that what remained in the marg...

We thank Bafici and the Cultural Recoleta Center for the recognition implied in this exhibition, and DAC for helping us in making it real. But above all, we thank you because you forced us to dig into our archives and look our 20 year-old body of work in the face. You have helped us realize what we...

Mario Monicelli turns 100 years old! And he celebrates in Buenos Aires, the city he visited only once, in 2007, before continuing his trip to Mar del Plata.When we land in the city, Mario fell in love at first sight.

It’s possible that, in Renoir’s time, just one rule would have sufficed. Not today. This documentary by Claudine Bories and Patrice Chagnard is the story of three twenty-year-olds who seek to insert themselves in the French labor market. They are not brilliant, by the way, and the world...

Celebrating the re-release of Moomin, Neil Gaiman defined it as “a lost treasure that finally surfaces: one of the sweetest and strangest comic books that have ever been written or drawn. A surreal masterpiece. Truthfully.” The moomins are a bunch of beautiful things (yes, things), a hyp...

Brian Wilson heard sounds inside his head. Some of them were tanned shapes of pop music that would become the musical soul of California, even when they were new mutants or had less sexual charisma than a noodle stuck on a tile: the Beach Boys, that wisely garish mirror image of The Beatles. Love &a...

The deal with Park Lanes is none other than its running time: the eight hours of the workday of the laborers at a factory. Having said this, one could ask oneselves why so few films have dealt with work, or have felt the necessity to reflect what makes the working class unique, aside from the purely...

Like in Aleksei German Jr.’s Under Electric Clouds –screened in the last edition of the Berlin Film Festival and also programmed in this Bafici–, Angels of Revolution deals with Russian history –or in this case Soviet, to be more precise. If German believes any Russian period...
