X arrives in a small town and witnesses a violent act; Z takes the job of a dead manager and discovers that he had a notebook written in code and a map; H is hired to go down a river and investigate a series of mysterious monoliths built on the shore.

Fatherland brings a rigorous structural approach to a site of monuments that is also a place of movement, criss-crossed daily by tourists and locals. The grounds are laid out like city blocks, with wide avenues branching onto laneways filled with elaborate mausoleums. The film does not attempt to tour the cemetery as one would on foot, however, but rather moves chronologically through the history enshrined there. A series of individuals are framed in static compositions as they read aloud excerpts from the writings of noteworthy Argentines interred within. (Some license has been taken, as the final resting places of certain figures represented - such as journalist Rodolfo Walsh, who was among the "disappeared" - remain unknown. The result is both poetic and political.) Beginning in the early 1800s, this history comprises civil war, battles with the country's native population, the conflict between the city and the provinces, and years of military dictatorship.

A monolith is the excuse for a journey to an obsession full of charms and, like every dream, also some disappointment.

In 1969 Argentine filmmaker Hugo Santiago directed Invasión, his opera prima, written by Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares, and later settled in France. This film documents his return to Buenos Aires in 2013 to shoot his latest film, Le ciel du centaure.


From her encounter with Eva Perón to the death of the icon, from her fascination with the Peronist cause to the persecution she will suffer after the Liberating Revolution, film star Fanny Navarro remembers her life walking today in the streets of Buenos Aires.

Two female producers are commissioned to create a short documentary for an exhibition dedicated to Rubén Santantonín, an elusive figure of the Argentine avant-garde who died very young, in the late 1960s. However, the client imposes one unexpected condition: the video must be made together with David Lamelas, Santantonín’s former collaborator and today an internationally recognized figure of conceptual art. At first, the plan seems clear and limited in scope: Lamelas, accompanied by a young film crew, gathers archival materials, documents the few surviving works, and interviews curators and major artists – such as Luis Felipe Noé and Marta Minujín – who, along with Santantonín and Lamelas, peopled the legendary scene at the Instituto Torcuato Di Tella. Lamelas gradually realizes that reconstructing the story of his friend also means confronting a series of gaps and contradictions.

A story by Mario Levrero and a mythical house in the Paraná Delta (Tigre - Argentina) conspire to shape this film, as two pieces that complement each other but without keeping a total synchronization. The voice-over becomes the common thread of a fantastic surreal story about strange events that occurred in an abandoned house. The action highlighted with the unique presence of insects, shadows, reflections and rain, proposes scenarios for the specific spaces in the story and invites you to recreate the characters and events narrated there.

Joan Crawford is a Hollywood legend. She star of bright and somber melodramas. She reigned on the screens for several decades, but every kingdom has her sunset. At that twilight moment, and as if trying to escape that crossroads, Joan decides to call the notable American artist, the greatest exponent of Pop Art: Andy Warhol. Her intention is to replace her muse, Elizabeth Taylor, in the serigraphs that the artist will present at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles. This intrusion will give rise to a telephone conversation where the queen of melodrama will confirm that the world has changed and that her cinematographic life in black and white is already part of an implacable past.

Portrait of the mythical ballerina Iris Scaccheri, made entirely with photographies.

In 1899, German neurobiologist Christofredo Jakob arrived in Argentina to conduct his research at the Hospital de las Alienadas, an insane asylum for women. More than a century later, in a semi-abandoned ward of what is now the Hospital Moyano, the traces of that experience appear in the form of brains and heads preserved in formaldehyde, stuffed animals and photographs from the patients who inhabited the hospital.

A childish and robotic voice lists different adventures together with its particular pets: snails. As if it were a scientific report, the real and the fantastic merge in this unique story.

Several shots that were born to be mere appendices of other more important ones, are reorganized to shape another narrative, forming a stream of images and sounds with no plot, no characters, no motive, but that advances irresponsibly towards nowhere.

A story rescued from the memory of an old woman exposes a fascinating parallel between humans and numbers.

The story of Buenos Aires' first work of rationalist architecture, narrated by its last tenant.
