Tres fábulas de Villa Ocampo
Alejo Moguillansky, Mariano Llinás
A fugitive, a fetishist and a detective walk through a mansion built in the 19th century on the banks of the River Plate. Within its walls, there are resonances, portraits of illustrious or unknown people, books, souvenirs, furniture from different periods and styles. At the heart of this secret order is a woman who has been portrayed throughout her life by painters of the Belle Epoque, by neoclassical sculptors, by avant-garde photographers. To reconstruct the history of these women, each of the visitors will create a fable, in which the essential names of the 20th-century culture are intertwined. Among the visitor to Victoria Ocampo's mansion we can mention the architect Le Corbusier, the composer Igor Stravinsky, the writers Graham Greene, Aldous Huxley, Waldo Frank, Albert Camus... You will also hear the whisper of two young writers cementing what will be a bond that will last for decades: Adolfo Bioy Casares and Jorge Luis Borges...

Diario de el loro y el cisne
Alejo Moguillansky
Luciana Acuña, Gabriel Almendros
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.

Alejo Moguillansky to Michelangelo Antonioni
Alejo Moguillansky
Garbiñe Ortega, artistic director of Punto de Vista, devised the creation of a collective audiovisual project with the collaboration of the filmmaker Matías Piñeiro in which several filmmakers will make a filmed letter addressed to another filmmaker in the history of cinema that they did not know personally and that he was as far away as possible from his own cinema. Thus was born Las cartas que no fueron también son
