Valentina Llorens

After the appearance her uncle’s remains, disappeared in Argentina military dictatorship, Valentina (documentary’s director, born in jail) explores the stories of her grandmother-Mother of Plaza de Mayo and her mother-political prisoner- to find those memories that her mind does not seem to find.

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.”

The year 2023 marks the 35th anniversary of the association La Mujer y el Cine, and 43 female directors have come together to deliver a fragment of their gaze, a frame, an aesthetic and ethical decision, a tribute to women who anticipated the struggle. A leap into the void made by women filmmakers of different ages and backgrounds. United, in a sort of electronic loom, as an offering and a legacy in which a moment in the history of Argentine cinema is told, where we were all one, with our eyes on the past, our gaze on the present and the horizon full of the future.
