Continuing the series started with Intervened Events (2014), the Buenos Aires Film Museum presents the second feature film made entirely with material from its archives and by fourteen outstanding Argentine filmmakers. These are nine issues of Cine Escuela Argentino, a project created in 1948 by the Argentine Ministry of Education during the first government of Juan Domingo Perón. The latter promoted “the use of the cinematographer as a didactic assistant destined to complete the educational and cultural work, mainly in what concerns exalting the feelings of the nationality, with the heroic example of the heroes, Christian morality and the multiple civil duties, great and small”. Hence, most of the films produced by Cine Escuela Argentino were aimed at scientific dissemination and tourism promotion of the various regions of the country. (Museum of Cinema)

Amando (el Genio de los Acuario)

Lucas is nine years old and El Pira is eight, thought he seems older, like all dogs. In the immensity of the countryside, in the darkest of nights, they wait. A flapping of wings from afar, that small colored ball, one loose tooth, the bicycle's chain, Astro's rocket launching, the light of the steam in the pool, Bela's gaze, the juice, and the cookies. In the horizon, the first lights. Lucas switches off the flashlight they were playing with and gets ready. Sometimes a scary story can also be a story of courage.
