Pablo Sapere

A journey of years through many countries and film festivals; a nostalgic, adrenaline-fueled and rock-spirited immersion into the universe of cinephilia, in search of genre specialists, fans and filmmakers who speak of their shared passion for fantastic cinema; a whole international spiritual community united under the cathartic shadow of horror.

A peculiar, meticulous, vocationally archeological account of the professional life of the actor, Spanish by birth, Argentinean by adoption, Narciso Ibañez Menta (1912-2004), spiritual disciple of Lon Chaney, the new man of a thousand faces, master of horror, star of Argentinean theater, cinema and television for decades.

A history of Argentine horror cinema, from its beginnings in 1934 to present day. It is a path of defeat, dead-end streets and triumphs, where the protagonists will lead us through the lesser known hallways of local horror.

Based on stories of strange aquatic monsters—such as Nessie in Scotland and Nahuelito in Argentina—this feature-length documentary focuses on an expedition organized by Clemente Onelli, director of the Buenos Aires Zoo in 1922, to hunt a live plesiosaur in Patagonia.

Argentinean filmmakers talk about the Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre Film Festival and the history of genre cinema in Argentina.
