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

Argentina is a country with an extensive and varied cinematography. Within this enormity, there is a rare, atypical… bizarre cinema. Bizarrofilia aims to investigate the origin and meaning of the word “bizarre”, how the passage of time implies reinterpretations of some works, and focuses on the contemporary production of films that aim to distance themselves from any mimetic representation of reality… although in a country like ours reality always surpasses fiction.

Short documentary about horror films in Argentina.
