Six professionals in the audiovisual field share their experiences through a visual and sound sensory journey

Collective film made in times of confinement. April 2020. The film gives visual form to inner worlds—what the directors see and how they see it. How they inhabit their spaces, their bodies, their fears and perspectives in isolation, and how they connect with the “outside worlds.”

A feature film that intertwines a handful of short fictional stories marked by the anguish that the death of loved ones always causes: two women who miss the same man, an old man who returns to the place where he lived experiences that left a mark on him in his youth, a rural town invaded by its own memories, and a mother who reunites with a son whose life hangs in the balance after insisting on unnecessary distancing.

Feinmann was born in Buenos Aires in 1943. He holds a degree in Philosophy and was a university professor at the University of Buenos Aires during the military government of Juan Carlos Onganía. During those years, he forged his identity as an intellectual of the so-called leftist Peronism. During the last military dictatorship, Feinmann lived in seclusion with a diagnosis of cancer. Hence the analogical relationship in the title. The Fugitive Cell refers to the symmetries the author and screenwriter establishes between the illness that plagued him and the feared paramilitary groups whose eruption awaited him at any moment, locked inside his Buenos Aires home.
