This is the story of a death, that of José Luis Alvarenga. According to the police section of a provincial newspaper, it was reported as the result of a "unique Creole duel." On Christmas Eve. A rural town in the interior of Chaco, a provocation, a reaction, an unequal confrontation that ends with José Luis dead. Several neighbors witness the incident, one of whom says, "They killed Lorenzo Lamas." Thus begins this simple, unknown story, which this film seeks to bring to life.

Los resistentes poster
NR

Stories of protagonists of the clandestine struggle called Peronist resistance, between 1955 and 1965. First the bombings of the civilian population of Buenos Aires on June 16 and then the military coup of September 16, 1955, drive workers and people from the people to come out in defense of the Perón government. There the "abnormal, excessive, hallucinatory odyssey of the Resistance" was born, the clandestine struggle against a bloody dictatorship called the "Liberating Revolution" and renamed the "Fusiladora". Today, those same men and women with more than 70 years, remember their struggle, and still vindicate themselves as resistant.

Damiana Kryygi poster
5.2

The year is 1896. In the dense jungle of Paraguay a three years old Ache girl survives a slaughter perpetrated by white settlers. The girl is named Damiana by her captors. Anthropologists from the La Plata Museum of Natural Sciences in Argentina take her as an object of scientific interest in the context of their racial studies. Later she is handed over to a family where she grows up as a maid. In 1907, at the age of 14, she is committed to a mental institution. There she is photographed naked just two months before her death from tuberculosis. Once dead her body is studied in La Plata and in Berlin. One hundred years later, an anthropology student identifies part of her remains in the La Plata museum. Her head is found soon after at Charite Hospital in Berlin.

Las Palmas, Chaco poster
9.0

Las Palmas is a town that had promising beginnings due to the installation on the site of the Las Palmas sugar mill of the Hardy brothers. Thanks to this establishment, at the end of the 19th century the town became the first town to have an electrical power network in Argentina. The mill's bankruptcy process - which began in 1971 and ended with the auction of the properties in 1993 - meant the elimination of the main source of work in the town.

(...) The Same River poster
NR

What are three years in the life of a river, on its coast, in a corner of South America? The seasons follow one another; time speaks of a Río de la Plata that is always different. The air brings voices from the past and the present; we realize that we are also this river.

The Ceibo tree, which had played an essential role in Mayan culture, is the protagonist of Alejandro Mouján's short film from 2016, in which the director observes the passing of time, this transitory state that is so precious, and yet goes almost unnoticed. The Ceibo tree, a beautiful natural creation, becomes a symbol, a mirror of ourselves.
