The experimental film scene in Buenos Aires is growing from personal meetings of the artists of different field and different places and cultures. So the screening of films from Buenos Aires will present the oeuvres of the artists who are currently based in the capital of Argentina even when they’re coming from different places of Latin America and beyond. The experimental film scene is a part of the widest alternative art scene which during the time after economical, social and political crisis in Argentina (1999-2002) figure out the surviving strategy in such situation for the artistic activities. The other part of the entire scene are the different DIY branches from music, theater to contemporary video-art and performance. The majority of the scene is grown up from the lack of the mental and physical space for the spontaneous creative gesture as well as from the absent field for the reflection of contemporaneity.

With works by Mario Bocchichio, Andrés Denegri, Benjamin Ellenberger, Lisandro Listorti, Azucena Losana, Pablo Marín, Pablo Mazzolo, Maximiliano Sans and Sergio Subero.

“The creative act of contemporary experimental cinema in Buenos Aires is the aesthetic and existential challenge, so it keeps the traces of the contemporaneity. The methods of working with the film the ones like a looping, recycling of footage and projection and performance in the shared personal space all of them are based on the inspiration of the moment related to contemporaneity which happened in total collaboration under conditions of reduced necessities of the creativity.“ - Georgy Bagdasarov and Alexandra Moralesova, curators
