La película infinita
Leandro Listorti
Based on the remains of never-completed Argentine features from the archives of the film museum in Buenos Aires. The film is, as it were, a parallel film history: an essay like a cinematographic Frankenstein, that blows new life into images that once seemed unsuccessful and pointless.
The Endless Film
Oro nestas piedras
Cristián Costantini, Leandro Listorti
Jorge Leonidas Escudero
Documentary about the Argentine poet, born in San Juan, Jorge Leonidas Escudero. His voice -speaking and reading- is the thread that brings together the experience as a gold digger in the San Juan mountains, the enthusiasm for games of chance, poetry, nature. The player loses, however he insists. Poems, friendship and humor remain, the celebration of the spoken word.

Sucesos intervenidos
Karin Idelson, Hernán Khourián
The omnibus feature SUCESOS INTERVENIDOS consists of shorts by a who’s who of Argentine documentary and experimental-film giants, including Edgardo Cozarinsky and Gustavo Fontán but also Claudio Caldini, Andrés Di Tella and Gabriela Golder. Each one of them created a piece of a few minutes in length using archival footage from SUCESOS ARGENTINOS (“Argentine Events”), a popular newsreel series from 1938 to 1972 whose episodes have recently begun to be digitized by Buenos Aires’s “Pablo C. Ducrós Hicken” Film Museum.
Intervened Events
El novio actual
Jerónimo Quevedo, Martín Shanly
Agustina Pulfer, Jerónimo Quevedo
A filmmaker meets her ex-boyfriend, who plays a role in her new film, in which the authenticity or falsity of a kiss in a gay scene is debated, with backstage included. Metacine or metagay? Gay cinema within cinema or cinema within gay cinema, variations of a daedalus of representations. "The current boyfriend" feeds on lateral humor, on the political of desire as a talk in the kitchen, on the flicker-free observation of who we are and what we pretend to be, as a nucleus that is reinterpreted with always different gestures, once as drama and another like comedy, almost without knowing which is appropriate.
