Marcos Lopez

This documentary deconstructs the life of my father, Carlos Ragone, based on his work as a photographer and photojournalist: father and daughter, photographs and audiovisuals, memory and imagination intertwine.

Marcos Lopez's first feature film explores the world and oeuvre of Argentine folk musician, Ramón Ayala. The movie also provides interviews with contemporary musicians from Argentina, who were influenced by Ayala. At the same time, the picture portrays the different landscapes of the country: the jungle and soil of Misiones (Ayala's native province), the folk festival in Córdoba and the urban environment of Buenos Aires; paying special attention to those places where Ayala's music circulate. One of the most famous Argentine photographers, Lopez takes advantage of the cinematographic medium to stamp his visual aesthetics, which offer a very ironic, yet loving, approach to Argentina.

An intimate portrait of Marcos López, unique and unclassifiable figure, film director, visual artist and one of the most prominent contemporary photographers in Latin America.
