Seré millones poster
8.0

In January 1972, during General Lanusse's dictatorship in Argentina, a group of revolutionary activists occupied the National Development Bank, just meters from the Government House, expropriating 450 million pesos (approximately 10 million dollars today) for their cause. This was made possible by Oscar Serrano and Ángel Abus—activists and bank employees—who spent two years preparing what would become the biggest blow to the dictatorship's finances. Forty years later, Oscar and Ángel, along with a group of actors, recreate those events that changed their lives. In this dialogue between generations, the young people transform their perspective on activism and commitment during those years. Narrated through several cinematic layers, Seré Millones (I Will Be Millions) offers an innovative story that blends humor, rigorous historical research, and the epic spirit of the era.

Uso mis manos. Uso mis ideas poster
9.0

In 1973, a group of grassroots activists launched an adult literacy project in the Villa Obrera neighborhood, on the outskirts of Centenario, Neuquén province, drawing on Cuban experiences and those developed by Paulo Freire in the 1960s. This initiative was filmed by professional photographer Raúl Rodríguez, with the goal of creating a film that would be useful for other neighborhoods and also provide a testament to the work accomplished. Thirty years later, "I Use My Hands, I Use My Ideas" rescues these images and the testimonies of those who participated in the project, a precursor to national literacy campaigns. It was an experience that drew on popular support and aimed to transform the traditional concept of education, fostering a critical reading of reality.
