A Chilean-Argentine intervention that mixes dance and cinema, in which outstanding dancers "come back to life" through their movements. They appropriate public and emblematic places in the city of Santiago that, paradoxically, are empty. Les Revenants is a work-installation consisting of six different dance solos, which were recorded in emblematic buildings in Santiago that were empty due to the pandemic. These records were projected in different places in the city -such as advertising posters, walls and screens-, in what was its premiere, during Santiago a Mil 2021.

An enormous effort of narrative complexity made up of six independent, successive stories, connected by the same four actresses living very different experiences in very different universes…

Pin de Fartie unfolds as a playful spin on theatrical adaptation and an experiment in character dynamics. The film charts three relationships defined by Samuel Beckett’s 1957 play Fin de Partie (Endgame): one between a blind man and his daughter; another concerning two actors rehearsing that same text; the third following a man who reads his blind mother Beckett’s play and discovers that it reflects their lives.

At the end of the world, we follow the only two remaining creatures: One covered in grass and one covered in hair.

Feminism, Victoria Benedictsson, Leandro N. Alem, the Radical Party in Argentina, suicide, stunts, Edgar Allan Poe, the complicated relationship between low-budget films with a political aim and the film industry, Robert Louis Stevenson, fiction, facts, greed, gold treasures left by the Jesuits in Argentina, the 19th Century vs. the contemporary and the search for truth and wisdom are the background for this portrait of a clash between a Swedish artist and an Argentine film director.

A comedy during confinement? Probably so. A portrait of a little girl and her family during confinement? Apparently so. An absurd, Beckettian musical shot during confinement? Exactly, yes.

On 9 July – Argentina’s Independence Day – Llinás sets off in Buenos Aires with his regular cameraman Agustín Mendilaharzu to re-record ‘Corsini interpreta a Blomberg y Maciel’, an album made in 1929 by lyricist Hector Pedro Blomberg and composer Enrique Maciel, as an ode to Juan Manuel de Rosas, leader of the Argentine Confederation.

A miserable Argentine troupe of actors, dancers, musicians, filmmakers and a girl embark on a theatre tour to some country, probably in Latin America.

In 2000 Alejo Moguillansky, Diego H. Flores and Fermín Villanueva filmed for three days aboard the ARA San Juan submarine. Twenty years later, Alejo Moguillansky edited that old material in this travel chronicle called The Submarine Night, narrated by Luciana Acuña and himself, written together with Mariano Llinás.

A group of actors retire to an island in Tigre to rehearse William Shakespeare’s As You Like It and suddenly Luisa, who is playing Rosalinda, makes a bad decision.

The theatre as a courtroom, the courtroom as a theatre. Alejo Moguillansky’s film draws loosely on Raúl Quirós Molina’s El pan y la sal (The Bread and the Salt), a 2015 verbatim theatre piece compiled from the testimonies provided during the 2012 trial of Judge Baltasar Garzon, for investigating the forced disappearances of the Spanish Civil War and the Franco regime. Juxtaposing the testimonies of the relatives of those who lost loved ones with references to Argentina’s and Chile’s recent dictatorships, this film explores issues around international law and forced disappearance - tracing a line between Francisco Franco, Augusto Pinochet and Jorge Videla’s Military Junta: Garzón has investigated Argentine torturers and criminal perpetrators and had Pinochet arrested in London in 1998 for crimes against humanity.

The sad story of Andersen's little match girl; the fate of Balthazar, Bresson's donkey; the impossible love affair between a militant of the Red Army Faction and an Argentinean pianist; the adventures in Buenos Aires of Helmut Lachenmann, who is trying to stage an insane opera; the problems of Marie, Walter and their daughter, who are trying to survive on very little money…

Along the way Pedro comes across an orphan, a street child that will unconsciously and eventually lead him to a new and singular idea.

This film, Diario de el Loro y el Cisne, is one of the results of this process of writing directly over the images and sounds. It is made entirely from discarded material from the film Loro y el Cisne. I'm not entirely sure of the result. The only thing I can say about it is that it's extremely sincere.
